Panthers worked out DE Jeremy Jarmon

Lost in the Donnie Avery discussion was the fact that the Panthers also worked out DE Jeremy Jarmon... interesting prospect according to this write-up:

If there's one position I think most fans would agree has been a very pleasant surprise it's been the defensive ends. Not that anyone doubted the talent of Charles Johnson or Greg Hardy, but there was tangible concern that a lack of pressure from the defensive tackles would result in the DEs being too often double teamed and taken out of plays, as was prevalent in the 2011 pre-season. With the move to cut Everette Brown and bring in George Selvie it appeared the depth at DE was established, but the Panthers are ensuring they leave no stone unturned when it comes to improving this football team.

Jason LaCanfora of NFL.com is reporting the Panthers are bringing in former Washington Redskins DE Jeremy Jarmon for a workout today. The 6'3", 286 lb Jarmon was a former 3rd round pick taken in the supplemental draft in 2009 out of Kentucky. He entered the draft following a positive test for a banned supplement, which was said to be an over-the-counter dietary supplement.

Traded from Washington to Denver this season in exchange for WR Jabbar Gaffney he was one of the final cuts the Broncos made in trimming their roster and was described as a 'tough cut'. After the jump you'll see Jarmon's statistics thus far, but remember he's been playing out of position- he is a 4-3 DE who was asked to play 3-4 DE in Washington's system, so I wouldn't be too dismissive of his lack of sacks. While at Kentucky he was a two time All-SEC defensive end.

    • I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy. 
    • Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.  
    • This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
