Should the Carolina Panthers have gambled on the health of Jordan Reed to boost their options at tight end?

The Carolina Panthers may have missed a trick by not taking a chance on free-agent tight end Jordan Reed. This is an area of the field that has little depth behind No. 1 option Ian Thomas. And although there are some serious health concerns regarding the former Washington standout. It was seen as a risk worth taking by a prominent contender.

Reed ended a long period on the free-agent scrapheap by agreeing to a one-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers, according to multiple reports.
