AM LEAVING: QB Bryce Young threaten to leave Carolina Panthers if nothing is done about this!
Dan Morgan didn’t have much money to throw around during his first offseason as Carolina Panthers general manager.
The previous regime left the football operation in a complete mess.
Cleaning it up was a difficult task – one the former linebacker managed to accomplish effectively thanks in no small part to the financial nous of Brandt Tilis.
The Panthers managed to pull off two marquee signings in free agency.
Both were identified relatively early in the process and came into the organization with one sole purpose.
This was to provide stability to the offensive line interior.
Robert Hunt was signed within hours of the legal tampering period beginning.
The formidable right guard was joined swiftly after by Damien Lewis, who knows Dave Canales well from their time together on the Seattle Seahawks and will fill the left guard spot moving forward.
These acquisitions meant a position change for Austin Corbett.
The former second-round selection is switching to the center spot after Bradley Bozeman’s release.
While this represents a risk – especially considering there is no specialist center on the roster aside from undrafted free agent Andrew Raym – those in power believe it’ll pay off handsomely.
Dave Canales is thrilled with the improvements made to Carolina’s protection based on comments via Fan Nation.
He’s seeing a positive change from the unit, which will help greatly as he looks to make the Panthers more physical within his run-first offensive scheme.
