Luke Kuechly’s time with the Carolina Panthers may not be over, Alaina Getzenberg of the Charlotte Observer reports.
The team announced that the former linebacker is “considering” a role in the team’s front office as a pro scout.
Kuechly, who announced his retirement in January, officially went on the league’s reserved/retired list Tuesday, which allows the team to spread out his cap hit over the next two years.
Known for his dedication to film study, joining the team as a pro scout would make sense for Kuechly. Since announcing his retirement, Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said previously that he hoped Kuechly would join the team as a coach or scout and that Kuechly spent time watching film with the new coaching staff.
Luke since day one of taking the field as a Panther was like having a coach in uniform. He studys and reads offenses like no one in a in a long while. Being a
scout sounds good, but being a linebackers coach would be awesome. Bless you
Luke and Keep Pounding!!!!!!
