It was reported Sunday by ESPN’s Adam Schefter that former Carolina Panthers’ defensive end Charles Johnson would be visiting One Buc Place to potentially assist an abysmal Buccaneers’ defensive line. As colleague Alan Schechter pointed out, there is some risk involved in bringing in Johnson. His age, potential contract demands, etc.
I disagree. Mostly.
Charles Johnson had some injury issues in 2015, but has been a productive member of that defensive line for years. In fact, he ranks number two all-rime in Panthers’ history with 63.5 sacks, behind future Hall of Famer Julius Peppers.
