With center Ryan Kalil locked up contractually through the 2018 season, the Carolina Panthers are now looking to their left.
The Panthers are interested in signing left tackle Michael Oher to a contract extension, according to a league source. Oher is entering the final year on his two-year deal.
The interest signals Carolina is ready to spend some of the money is saved by rescinding cornerback Josh Norman’s franchise tender in April. The Panthers signed Kalil to a two-year deal worth $16.5 million on Monday and are still interested in signing defensive tackle Kawann Short to a long-term deal, even though Short will miss this week’s organized team activities while waiting for that deal.
