CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers guard Trai Turner took to social media earlier this month when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers released Gerald McCoy, calling the six-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle a “real-life savage."
Turner would know. The Panthers' four-time Pro Bowl tackle has faced McCoy, 31, twice a year since 2014.
Now the Panthers have a chance to add McCoy to a defense that is making a transition from a 4-3 scheme to a 3-4. He arrived in Charlotte on Thursday to meet with the coaching staff and management.
