The Carolina Panthers cleaned house Monday. They cut several players including the likes of Kurt Coleman and Charles Johnson, in what appeared to be moves to start fresh. Although the moves themselves may have surprised some people, they followed the Panthers’ blueprint heading into the offseason.
Monday, general manager Marty Hurney spoke to the media. While doing so, he laid out a blueprint for future success. If anything, the releases matched up with the blueprint very well.
“Obviously, we want to increase our team speed overall. We want to add speed and athleticism to the skill positions,” Hurney said.
