A team searching for productivity at the wide receiver position, just parted ways with a key offseason addition.
Carolina has waived wide receiver Jason Avant according to his agent.
Much better things ahead and role for Jason Avant. Definitely deserves better.

Avant was openly critical of the teams playcalling after the Panthers loss on Sunday.
“I’ve been in the league a long time. I know two things. You never want to give a team a chance to win a game, with how much time was left on the clock. And asking a kicker to make a 50-yard field goal with the game on the line is rough sledding,” Avant said, via Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer. “If that’s the only option, yes. But if it’s not, you want to get as close as you can and think score and play to score a touchdown. Because I’d rather the team have to score a touchdown to win the game than to have to kick a field goal. It’s just a lot different. It’s a 30-yard difference.”
