I was doing a little digging on the Internet a few minutes ago to see how some former Arkansas players were doing in the NFL and if they had a chance of making the cut.

  Well, it appears that tight end Andrew Davie and Marcus Monk – who both play for the Carolina Panthers – could be looking for new teams after today.

  Here is an excerpt from a story recently published in The Charlotte Observer: 

  “The Panthers will cut five players – from 80 on the roster to 75 – Tuesday.

  Those five will likely come from this list: Defensive tackle Lorenzo Williams, guard C.J. Davis, tight end Andrew Davie, offensive tackle Gerald Cadogan, center Keith Gray, receiverMarcus Monk and receiver Larry Beavers.”

  If it ends up working out that way, maybe Davie and Monk will get opportunities with other teams. Monk has already been cut by the Chicago Bears and New York Giants, so it might be a tough blow for him to get cut by a third team in a year or so.

  Davie was picked up as an undrafted free agent by the New York Jets, then traded to Carolina. Maybe another team will be in the need for a blocking tight end and give him a chance to play pro ball. 

  I’ll try to post any updates on the blog and Twitter (@NWAAlex).
