thespaniard Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Reinstated by the league after a two-year hiatus from the game, offensive lineman Adam Meadows will now have the opportunity to choose the franchise with which he resumes his NFL career. Adam Meadows Meadows After considerable deliberation, the Carolina Panthers, who retained Meadows' rights after he abruptly retired less than two weeks into camp in 2004, have decided to terminate their relationship. The move, not wholly unexpected despite Meadows' preference to return to the Panthers, will make the seven-year veteran an unrestricted free agent. Even with his two-year absence from the playing field, and past shoulder problems that played a role in his decision to retire, Meadows is expected to generate interest once his name officially appears on the league's internal transactions document. That could come as early as Tuesday. Agent Don Henderson will begin making phone calls to other teams as soon as Meadows is officially freed from his Panthers' ties. Over the last two years, Meadows has built a successful home construction business in his native Georgia and the company is up and running well. He has built his weight back up as well, to 290 pounds now, from a low of 258 pounds. In his last few seasons in the league, Meadows was listed at 290 pounds, although he probably played a bit heavier. His shoulders, Meadows said, feel better than they have in years and he is confident that he can hold up physically in camp. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2529310 The best part about this whole story is how Meadows gave the Panthers their money back because he couldn't perform up to his contract. Pretty high character guy, any team who brings him in will be happy to have him in their locker room... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. S Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 does he play guard or tackle? Seems like we would go after him if he could play both, but also if he could push Dockery for a spot, as Dockery has one year left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly Colts made a offer to him already. He's got the pick of teams thats for sure. Just have a hunch that he'll end up with the Falcons.

Just have a hunch that he'll end up with the Falcons. He probably will. He lives in GA, and seems like the kind of guy who would like to be close to home. One thing though, he wants to play OT, and the Falcons would like him to be an OG. That could be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
