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.

      No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad

      I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle.

      Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
