Glad he's back. Super versatile quality depth.

Brady Christensen re-signs with panthers 

Grade: A

Versatile offensive lineman Brady Christensen is coming back to the Carolina Panthers on a one-year deal worth just under $2.8 million.

Christensen has filled in admirably at tackle, guard, and center over his time in Carolina, and that kind of versatility can be hard to come by. It's a great depth signing, especially given the importance of competent OL play in the NFL.

The players that have resigned have indicated they preferred to be in Carolina. This is a positive reflection of the coaching staff, something we have not seen often.

Like 90% of all contributors on offense are returning. Only Miles Sanders, Ian Thomas and David Moore are (probably) gone.

Pied this post cause I  think counting Ian Thomas and Inch Sanders as contributors is extremely generous and kind hearted of you.

Pleasant surprise for sure. Seems like the beat writers even thought he was gone for more money. 

I'd cut Nijman, save the 3+ mil, and draft an OT in the 4th or 5th and the OL is locked in.

I would make him a swing tackle first, reserve guard second.  We have Zavala, who played well.  The OL is set.

Corbett, Mays, Lewis, Hunt, Ekwonu, Moton, Zavala, Christensen, Nijman

I doubt we keep more than nine on the roster, so these hybrids are valuable.  I expect the Panthers to draft a RT to play behind Moton and to take the RT job in a year.

HOWEVER, BC can play RT and at age 29, he could compete for RT.  I wonder if this depth behind Moton prevents the Panthers from drafting a RT this year? 

I hope we did not overpay--no more than $3-4m.

He was better at C than G tbh either way great depth piece as he's always been, serviceable all over the line and played excellent at C when called apon.

 

In fact he didn't play a single snap at guard last year

The lines are looking good and deep.  When could we ever say that about both?

Knocks on wood as saying this, hopefully we can stay healthy on them because that's were you win football games.... 

Our starting 5 on the oline all returning.... hasn't happened in a long time and they were SOLIDLY top 10 by the end of the year I suspect they will be even better this year with even more continuity.... easily could be the best line we have ever had.

this is so good. i was sure we wouldn't be able to keep him. this OL is STOUT.

1 year deal at $2.787m is a great value.

BC is a natural OT from the waist down.  His arms are fairly short, which gets you moved inside in the NFL.  However, he is not bad outside.  I had been mocking a RT to us.  With BC, I am not sure we need to do so any longer.  Mays can play T as well, so I think we might be set.  If a RT is sitting there and is a great value, take him, but if not, don't go looking.  We should be fine.  We have depth at C (Corbett, Mays), depth at G (Lewis, Hunt, Zavala) and Depth at T (Ekwonu, Moton, BC).  I think we can say goodbye to Nijman and do not need a RT in the draft unless it is simply a steal.

Good. We needed a nice value signing. It’s still funny how much we overvalue our guys even with winning 2-7 wins a year over 7 years. People mentioned we might lose BC to a starting contract elsewhere. He’s a good backup but clearly no one is giving a 29 year old backup a huge deal. I think he’s thinking his best chance at starting is if Moton retires or is released in the next couple years.
