The Carolina Panthers hosted free agent wide receiver Hakeem Butler today, proving that they are not yet satisfied with their depth at the position. Keep in mind that Keith Kirkwood is on injured reserve for at least two more weeks and was expected to be a contributor in Joe Brady’s offense.
Butler, who would likely be headed for one of the expanded practice squad spots while he is brought up to speed, is an intriguing visit for the Panthers. The 2019 fourth round pick was expected by many to be a steal for the Arizona Cardinals.
