The expected and right move.

Even if you hate him after the Super Bowl and never want him to start for us again, he is at worst a mediocre starting OT and would be a great backup swing tackle which is worth $2.5M.

Very good move. He had a bad game in the Super Bowl but overall is a solid back up option and can come in and start if need be.

Need him for depth in case Williams steps up and takes the job, or he could continue to be a player that will get better with time. Either way that is a good price for someone with his experience.

The people who hate him should watch some more game footage of Nate Chandler....bless his heart.

There might even be a team out that bites in that. Either way, win/win. Keeping your oline in tact is always a good idea.

Saying someone is good simply because someone else isn't is incorrect, but I do agree 100% that Remmers is far from the worst RT Carolina has fielded in recent years. I'd even go so far as to say someone can watch any season from 2011-mid-2014 and compare to Remmers to see what he brings to the table... there were more bad performances than good in that timespan.

Glad to see this.  Hope Daryl Williams balls out and becomes our new starting RT, but Remmers has been solid.  Obviously he was lousy in the SB, but so were a lot of our players.  Remmers could become very valuable as a swing backup on the Oline for multiple positions.  This is very good news.  Hopefully no other team will want him with that 2nd round draft pick they'd have to give up.  It may have helped us that everyone's most recent memory is his terrible game.  He had something like 22 or 23 solid games out of 26... so, I'll take that.

Why does everyone only bring up the SB when it comes to Remmers? He was steadily declining as the season progressed. Daryl Williams should become our starting RT soon.

I feel like the 2nd round tender isn't just fair compensation for Remmers, it'd also be fair compensation for us if somebody fell in love with him. Even in the event that he loses his starting job to Williams, $2.5M is more than a value for a player with his talent and versatility on the OL.

Quote

CHARLOTTE - The Panthers have retained the rights to restricted free agent Mike Remmers , their starting right tackle last season, and have re-signed restricted free agent wide receiver Stephen Hill to a one-year contract.

By tendering a contract to Remmers, Carolina retains the right of first refusal on any contract offers made by other teams to Remmers by the April 22 deadline. The Panthers would receive a draft pick if they chose to not match an offer.

Remmers took over as the Panthers' starting right tackle with five games remaining in the 2014 regular season and has been the starter for all 21 regular season games and all five postseason games since. The Panthers are 22-4 in those games.

An undrafted rookie out of Oregon State in 2012, Remmers joined the Panthers midway through the 2015 season when Carolina signed him off St. Louis' practice squad.

Good to have him back

Remmers is a good RT. Glad to see him retained, as it gives the oline lots of options with a quality player.

Like most RT's,  they struggle with elite pass rushers.
