Wes Horton signs 2 year deal.

Horton hears a who?

If you combined Horton and Addison, you have one really good DE. 

[Mr. Miagi]

Panthers won't be drafting a DE.

Horton can't rush the pass for poo but he is great against the run.

Between him and Mario, we just signed 1 really good player.

[Icege]

Decent depth + competition.

I'd say this is possibly indicative that CJ's time here is done

Really what does he bring at this point.

Because we signed Addison and Horton?

Highly doubt either of those moves change anything in terms of the draft.

Exactly. His 2016 deal was for the vet minimum and counted $475k against the cap. He isn't signing for Addison money or anything we can't release. He is, however, important enough to us to have on the roster when we have 0 clue as to any DEs we might get in the draft or FA.

I love the Huddle reaction to signings like these. A guy who may not make the roster and all due respect to the man, but I hope he doesn't because that means a rookie or two stepped up in camp or fell to us in the draft.

There are going to be lots of signings like this and maybe CJ has told DG that he does plan to shop himself to try and get a last deal for some more $$$. Who knows.

Right. Same reaction when we re-signed Ben Jacobs to a 2-year deal.

The Panthers have signed defensive end Wes Horton to a two-year deal 24 hours after re-signing end Mario Addison to a three-year deal. Horton has been a solid run stopper that has earned him 27 starts over the last four seasons. Fills another need. Addison is more of a pass rusher. Sets up position by committee.

Thank you.

What are the chances of re-signing CJ?

[PhillyB]

unless addison continues his ascent and turns into a late-blooming star we have no identity at the position. just a bunch of JAGs.

great depth move... but there had better be more coming.

Does he ever go away

He does but always comes back
