CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- You can debate whether the Carolina Panthers overspent on left tackle Matt Kalil, who got a five-year, $55 million deal. You can debate whether they took a risk in signing aging veterans in 37-year-old defensive end Julius Peppers and safety Mike Adams, who turns 36 on Friday.
You can debate they made a mistake in not re-signing wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr.
You may even debate whether the roster on paper is stronger now than it was after the 2016 season.
I believe it is.
