    AP Article

    Panthers claim Montgomery off waivers from Giants

    .c The Associated Press


    CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - The Carolina Panthers claimed running back Joe Montgomery off waivers from New York Giants on Friday.

    The Giants released the injury-prone Montgomery in a salary cap move earlier this week, and Panthers general manager Marty Hurney confirmed the team had claimed him on Friday.

    The Panthers assume the final year of Montgomery's contract worth the league minimum of $375,000.

    The 5-foot-10, 230-pound Montgomery ran for 348 yards on 115 carries as a rookie, but has had troubles staying on the field since then. He spent all of last season on injured reserve after tearing his left Achilles heel in minicamp.

    I see this as a precautionary signing in case we don't get a RB in the draft.

    TRue, but we need a rb. If we cant draft one then maybe we trade for one. Any Ideas, or names so to speak?

    This is a no risk investment guys. We lose nothing if we cut him. No long term investment.
