The Carolina Panthers are in the market for a new left tackle. This won’t come as a surprise to anybody who has watched that position in Charlotte for the last, uh, nine years. The team was connected over the weekend to every big free agent name that has hit the market this off season. That includes Terron Armstead, Duane Brown, La’el Collins, and Eric Fisher.
