Carolina Panthers sign corner...

[nctarheel0619]

You want to see some lowlights?  Checkout Sanchez vs Oklahoma State last year.  OU beat the Hell of them, but he was the weak link that night for sure.  

Sanchez is great for reading the QB's eyes, but besides that he's just average in my personal opinion.

It was a love/hate relationship at OU for a lot of their fans.

I don't think we'll be seeing a lot of nickel on 3rd and short.  Even if the other team goes three wide, I'd still stick with Shaq/Luke/TD.

[LinvilleGorge]

Sanchez is a guy who I think Gettleman rolled the dice on.  He's a boom or bust type of prospect IMO.  We probably really liked his ball hawking abilities and ability to create turnovers.  Honestly, that's about the only thing there is to like.  He isn't a great cover guy and he's too small to be physical near the LOS.  We'll probably treat his rookie year kind of like a college redshirt year.  Wouldn't be surprised to see him not even active most weeks.  If he hasn't shown significant development by training camp next year, we'll probably just chalk it up as a gamble that didn't pay off.

Placeholder until Captain Munnerlyn gets cut and comes back home.

[Captain Morgan]

I'm all for this....don't know anything him, but he's 4 more years experience than most of our corners.

"The New England Patriots announced that they have released DB Leonard Johnson.  

Johnson, 25, was signed by New England to the 53-man roster on Dec. 9, 2015 after being released from Tampa Bay’s injured reserve list on Dec. 3, 2015. The 5-foot-10, 202-pounder, appeared in four regular-season games with three starts for the Patriots in 2015 and registered seven tackles and three passes defensed. Johnson was active, but did not play in either postseason contest. Read
Johnson originally entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with Tampa Bay out of Iowa State in 2012. He has played in 52 NFL games with 20 starts and has registered 146 total tackles, five interceptions for 128 yards with two touchdowns, 23 passes defensed, four forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and nine special teams tackles." http://www.patriots.com/news/2016/02/17/patriots-release-db-leonard-johnson

He should be well rested after last season.

No, he can fug off.

You know you're in offseason mode when you read a thread titled "Carolina Panthers sign corner" and you open it fully expecting a picture of some kind of Carolina Panthers sign on a street corner.

Good signing though.  I always trust Gettleman's journeyman DB signings to be guys that have a lot of upside and could thrive in our system.  I expect the same is true for this guy.

Signing these no name corners and hearing our rookie corners have a long ways to go makes me miss Norman. 

[CWORS]

Who?! I thought I was going to see that we signed Deion Saunders or Champ Bailey!!! Well at least he is a young CB who could be a possible diamond...possible that is!!

[panthers55]

I expected us to sign at least 1 if not 2 vet CBs. Teams that aren't rebuilding or don't  have a slew of injuries shouldn't be starting many rookies at all unless they were a first or second rounder and a huge talent.

[juliosantos]

The thing about sanchez is is extremely raw. He has instincts but hes going to need atleast a season to get up to the nfl level. Well see how he does in camp

[TheSpecialJuan]

Solid, cheap signing
