Jermon Bushrod visiting the Panthers

Recommended Posts

The Panthers aren’t content with their offensive line, after signing two starters this week.

According to Field Yates of ESPN, the Panthers had veteran lineman Jermon Bushrod in for a visit.

Bushrod started six games for the Saints last year, and the 34-year-old has 125 career starts with the Saints, Bears, and Dolphins.

While he’s older than they might prefer, he does has some flexibility (he can play tackle or guard), and the Panthers can stil use help.

After signing right tackle Daryl Williams and center Matt Paradis this week, the Panthers released left tackle Matt Kalil, and are looking to add to their options up front.

Hurney 2.0 is not handing out much to that guy. Over the hill, overweight, and never that good. Take a take a cheap contract or hit the bricks. Good job Hurney, now stay off the phone with your ex-wife and we'll keep the ball rolling.

Left without a contract likely means "wasn't ready to accept veteran minimum". That's gotta be about all that he's worth at this point.

Another possibility would be that we're bringing in other o-lineman over the weekend and we'd get back to him about a deal.

Hey, I'm not going to complain one bit about building that OL through FA and focusing on the D in the draft. That's playing to the strengths of this draft class.

Maybe there actually is something to this Hurney 2.0...

Totally agree

    • I love this draft because they picked the right OL.  It is possible that we have 2 rookies starting on the OL.  I would take Utah's Lomu as well, but for those who think you find the OL in free agency and not the draft, here is all I have to say:  We cannot give $110m to the 5 starting OL.  We need an infusion of youth on the OL as well.  If Ickey returns and can play, I imagine that he takes over for Hunt at RG--in 2027 or so.  Currently, our 2 guards and right tackle make up over 20% of the total cap.  We have to add 2 starters, but if Cade Mays was too pricey at around (anticipated) $8m, then we plan to draft a C, it seems. I think we draft an OT and C now because we will need a G or 2 and a RT soon.  While they were good in 2026, they were not elite.  For that kind of $$, we need elite.  Is starting a rookie LT and C ideal?  Nope.  But if we can get better than Nijman and Mays, we should be OK. I think we will pick up an ILB in free agency and add an ILB.  Who we draft (Mike or Will) will depend on who we sign.  Rodriguez is a favorite of mine, but if Golday is there, Morgan is going to take him.  Morgan will love him. I do not think we need to overpopulate the edge position right now because we have 1 edge returning from injury (Jones II), one rookie from last year ready to step up and could be really good (Scourton), and another who could be ready to step into the situational pass rusher role (Princely).  2 hold the edge very well and if we had a situational pass rusher to join Princely, we could be much better. I think rookies at Edge tend to jump considerably from their rookie seasons to years 2 and 3.  (Charles Johnson, Mike Rucker, and Greg Hardy were that way-and all became very good in time. Safety seems omitted, but we shall see.  That could be another free agent acquisition.
    • Id like Evans from Duke in the draft as a shooter for the second unit. And probably a more athletic big to replace all, he's good but doesn't really fit the style. White, Evans, green, Williams and center tbd is a pretty good second unit
