Bashaud Breeland should be a Carolina Panther. Back in March, the Panthers signed the ex-Washington cornerback to a three-year $24 million deal, the kind of contract that suggests he was considered a high-level starter. A bizarre situation involving a nasty cut and infection in his foot kept that deal from going through, while keeping Breeland on the unemployment line until late September.
Brian Gutekunst made a splash back in March in inking Jimmy Graham, Muhammad Wilkerson and Tramon Williams, a stark departure from his predecessor in terms of handling free agency.
