Panthers plan to let Eddy Pineiro, NFL’s 3rd-most accurate field goal kicker, test free agent market
Associated PressThe Carolina Panthers plan to allow Eddy Pineiro, the third-most accurate field goal kicker in NFL history, to test the free agent market, general manager Dan Morgan said Tuesday. The 29-year-old Pineiro has made 88.1% of his career field goal attempts since joining the NFL, which ranks behind Baltimore’s Justin Tucker and Kansas City’s Harrison Butker on the all-time list. The Panthers announced Monday they have informed longtime linebacker and soon-to-be unrestricted free agent Shaq Thompson that they will not re-sign him. Morgan said Tuesday that along with Pineiro, the team will allow tight end Tommy Tremble and safety Xavier Woods to test the free agent market as well, although he would not rule out re-signing them at a later date at the right price.
