Panthers sign former Cardinals NT

ZACH KERRDL, CAROLINA PANTHERS

Panthers signed DT Zach Kerr, formerly of the Cardinals, to a two-year contract.

The 29-year-old pickup would normally be viewed as a depth piece, but the losses of Gerald McCoy and Dontari Poe in the open market could force Kerr into an important role early. He totaled 19 tackles in Arizona last year, soaking up 328 defensive snaps across 12 appearances off their bench.

This is Rhule's Kyle Love.  NICE SIGNING.  I thought we may go after Damon Harrison--but Kerr is younger and cheaper.

If we seriously ignore CB and O-Line for DT, we are a joke. DTs are not as important and are stop gaps. 

See my post above. Before this signing we only had one DT on the roster with real NFL experience and he's over 30 and coming off of a season ending injury.

Again you might be disappointed  in Oline plan this year.. But I definitely see them adding at 3 more CB to the roster..

Considering we only had Short on the interior at the moment, any signing there is a good signing.

He might be younger but he isn't Snacks...

In what way?  Of course he isn't.  The depth NT was the point.  Give us 15 to 20 snaps a game--some beef on goal line.

Well, since you are on a roll, give him a nickname.

They will take the old farts who are washed up instead of drafting young tackles.  If they draft a LT with the number 7 pick....They will have to rush me to the hospital....I will drop out with a heart attack
