Newsday: Panthers to work out Will Beatty

I'm sure many will be happy to see this/pissed when he leaves unsigned.

"Will Beatty’s free agency journey takes him to Carolina on Wednesday where he will work out for the Panthers, according to a source.

Beatty, a former Giants offensive tackle who was released this offseason, has already worked out for and has been offered a contract by the Jaguars. The Eagles have also been keeping tabs on him while monitoring the appeal of a 10-game suspension for their starting right tackle, Lane Johnson. A reunion with the Giants, though, remains unlikely."

If he stays healthy.

A big reason why he doesn't have a job now it's because a lot of teams are skeptical that he can do that.

Eh. He blew out a pec benching, then tore his rotator cuff rehabbing it. 

As long as his pec is fine he should be okay. 

Bigger problem is his conditioning at this point. He'll have been basically out of football for nearly 2 years.

Plus he's 31. Not old, per se, but old enough that injuries start to become a bigger concern.

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.

    • No they are going to give Claudin Cherelus 2 spots.
