Today's Carolina Panthers free agency recap: Arrivals: The Panthers came to terms on a five-year, $55-million deal ($25 million guaranteed) with former Minnesota Vikings left tackle Matt Kalil. The official announcement is expected Friday after Kalil flies from the West Coast to Charlotte. Locking down Kalil to assure Cam Newton's blind side was protected was key with 2015 left tackle acquisition Michael Oher still in the concussion protocol. There weren't many good options in free agency or the draft. The Panthers also were negotiating with other free agents. Among those expected to draw interest are Minnesota cornerback Captain Munnerlyn and Green Bay defensive end Julius Peppers. Departures: Wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr., a player Carolina wanted to re-sign, chased the money and signed with NFC South rival New Orleans. Backup linebacker A.J. Klein also signed with the Saints, wanting to pursue a starting job. He wouldn't get that chance playing behind Luke Kuechly. In all, 12 Carolina players became free agents, but these were the only two that signed during the first wave of free agency.

Why are we only going after former players or family of current players? Is this a pro football organization or a commune?

There's something about Carolina sports and wanting to run a sports team more like a family rather than like a business. Canes tried this and failed. We will too.

      No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.

      I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.

      I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
