Bringing back this former Panther could solve a big problem for Carolina

Bring back the Captain.

As the Carolina Panthers are casting about for ways to improve their 6-10 team, the return of cornerback Captain Munnerlyn makes all kinds of sense.

Carolina had a problem with the nickel cornerback spot for much of 2016. The team has a very promising young pair of starting outside cornerbacks in James Bradberry and Daryl Worley, but what it doesn’t have is a slot cornerback who can play at a similarly high level. Shoring up that spot is essential if Carolina is going to unseat Atlanta – the No. 1 offense in the NFL last season – in 2017.
