Former Lion John Penisini unretires, joins Carolina

I’m sure Penisini asked for his release and we granted it.

Obviously he didn’t want to play here. Curious as to why.

Yeah I don’t get it.
I mean he got major snaps in 21, maybe he’s looking for the same scenario. Sounds like he doesn’t want competition.

I think I get it. Penisini saw his way blocked by the drafting of McNeil. Saw that it was likely his future here was practice squad player and injury fill in. By going somewhere else, he has the chance to establish himself as a roster worthy player.

Seems like a dude who genuinely was burnt out and wanted more out of life.

And after a year, and phone call from/to a mentor…he’s ready to comeback.

I don’t think there’s anything else to it than that…but I don’t know the guy personally just an assumption

So you retire and un-retire? Pretty weird if you ask me.
But hey, let Penisini do Penisini. Just in private please!

Not interested in Penisinme. Was out of the league for god sakes. Could have had him for the minimum.

It was probably a tough decision for him, he was probably beating himself up over it.
