After watching the Carolina Panthers offensive line be decimated by injuries last season, the looming retirement of Ryan Kalil raised serious concerns about the state of their unit. Protecting franchise quarterback Cam Newton remains a priority and general manager Marty Hurney is focused on making the moves in order to ensure things are improved next season.
In just three moves, Hurney is already earning credit for his reconstruction process that is assumed to be still incomplete. While Carolina has added two lineman and released another, there remains a strong possibility another tackle or interior lineman, perhaps both, could be added next month via the NFL Draft.
