Panthers sign TE Davie off waivers from Jets
July 2, 2009
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -The Carolina Panthers are taking another chance with a former minor league baseball player.
The franchise that once drafted and started quarterback Chris Weinke claimed rookie tight end Andrew Davie off waivers from the New York Jets on Thursday. The 26-year-old spent four seasons in the St. Louis Cardinals farm system before switching to football.
The 6-foot-4, 275-pound Davie caught 24 passes for 199 yards and six touchdowns in three season at Arkansas. He went undrafted in April and signed with the Jets.
Davie will provide depth in training camp behind starting tight end Jeff King and backups Dante Rosario and Gary Barnidge.
