Seemed like he was a promising prospect coming out of college but can't stay on the field getting bit by the injury bug nearly every season since being drafted.  I think it's weird to jump on a guy that quickly that is injury-plagued, versatile or not.  While the contract isn't bad for the position, it seems to be for this particular player.

I was going to suggest exactly this. Makes a lot of sense. From what I recall, he was a disappointment for Minnesota. But even if he underperforms, at worst he becomes a slightly expensive backup on a team with significant injury history on the line or just a straight up sunk cost of $6 million spread over 2 years. But the potential upside of getting a 3 year starter on the offensive line for $4.5 million per year makes it a reasonable roll of the dice.

Yeah I agree. I could easily see him not even starting this year depending on how the draft falls but if he’s actually healthy he can start or be a depth piece.

Bit of a decent write up here - at least has lots of clips in there breaking down some plays. 

Smart, athletic/mailer guard who started his career as an all rookie center before getting hurt and moving to Guard. 

Has played all 3 spots on the interior of the line in college and the NFL. 

3 years, 6 million guaranteed. Even if he sucks and doesn't deserve to be on a roster in the future, that's a relatively easy out.

Yep. Expensive Tyler Larsen replacement.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
