With Carolina Panthers backup tight end Chris Manhertz out for at least the beginning of training camp, the team is now tasked with finding a backup tight end.
Tim Weaver of PanthersWire.com put together a slideshow on Wednesday that listed four possible free agent candidates to take Manhertz’s place. One of them was former Miami Dolphin and Jacksonville Jaguar Julius Thomas. Out of all the names in the slideshow, Thomas stood out to me as the one that would be the best fit.
For starters, Thomas has the ability to put up numbers.
