Panthers Bring Back LaDarius Gunter On One Year Deal

[TheSpecialJuan]

I told you guys there was a good chance we'd re-sign LaDarius. He gives us excellent CB depth.

spot on. 

I don't think that Josh Norman necessarily has been given enough credit for being a student of the game. He put in a lot of film room time to improve his game. 

If given time, perhaps Gunter can play to that type of level with more teaching and experience.

That deal is probably higher then an RFA tender would have been, though I doubt the difference is huge.

Gunter Is probably decent depth. I know he's one of these guys that the Huddle thinks is a super talent that somehow nobody sees, but if he's no more than depth, I'm okay with that.

Pretty sure original round tender would've been $1.9M and we gave him up to $1.4M... If it was going to be higher we would've just tendered him initially so I don't really see your logic here.

yay

[The Huddler]

for god sakes people RB is not a NEED

[TheSpecialJuan]

9th CB on our current roster. 

[Khyber53]

The guy was there for evaluation purposes and he only saw limited time on the field. He looked like he had some potential, though. Maybe he'll catch fire this year. Maybe not. Either way, CB is one of those positions you don't want to have to rely on depth, but if you do, it's good to have some guys experienced in your system. Wise money spent.

I love this man

Honestly our D seemed to tighten up considerably when he came in late in the game against the Saints in the playoffs. Brees even tested him on back to back plays when he came in and he shut it down...I was excited about him but I was confused as to why we didn’t initially re-sign him.

He was awesome in the Saints game, but we put Worley back in
