I do as well but it all depends on how the draft falls... We may end up not having a 2nd if they trade up.

thats why we dont need to be in the business of moving up.  We have a great 2nd round pick and tons of needs.

You have to replace the depth we lost, neither Miller, or Schofield had high merits and played well, as bad as people here mock the OL they finished middle of the pack last season even with all of the injuries. 

We don't have the cap to sign a top tier FA on the OL, the price is too high, so the thing both these guys add is the fact they can both plug and play anywhere on the OL. 

Elfein - G or C

Erving - T, G, and C

These are value signings, and allow us to BPA in the draft is needed in case an OL prospect we like is not there. 

I get all of that and knew in advance we weren’t going to be players for big named OL pieces. However, you don’t give this much guaranteed money to two guys with their history. 

These only become value signings if Rhule and co. are able to turn both of these dudes careers around. Otherwise they’ve once again overpaid for crap.

[Mr. Scot]

Apparently they've agreed to terms...

We need bodies on the O-line, that's all

Is this our left tackle?

My gut says no but...

If he's fully recovered from the MCL sprain he should be a step up from Scott, who's better than Daley, who's better than Little. I like that he and Scott can back up either side. I still fully expect to draft a LT.

Again agreed but if the rumors so far are close to true the Panthers are dying to move up.

[davos]

I mean, we're having focused signings on the OL.  Right on par with the Miller signing last year. 

So we've got a good amount of guys signed on the line now.  Also seeing us drafting 1 at minimum.

Hey our O-line being worked on for a change.

CAMERON ERVINGT, CAROLINA PANTHERS

Panthers signed OT Cameron Erving, formerly of the Cowboys, to a two-year, $10 million contract. 

The deal includes $6 million guaranteed. The Panthers are making early, tactical signings as they try to shore up their offensive line. 28-year-old Erving had a rough 2020 for the Cowboys' injury-ruined offense line, making just six appearances as he turned in typically shaky play. Even at his best, Erving has never been better than league average, so it is an eye-brow raising opening day signing. Capable of playing both guard and tackle, Erving is an insurance policy for a team that currently has only one starting tackle under contract.

Panthers have signed Cowboys swing OT Cam Erving to a two-year, $10M deal, with $8M guaranteed, per league source. He's under 30 and has positional flexibility. Depending on what else Panthers do, would think Erving will compete for starting LT spot. But also can play G.

How is this "eye-brow raising"?  Not following here.  Its a cheap, short contract.

[Mr. Scot]

Klein and Ellis both expect he'll get a chance to compete for the starting left tackle spot.
