Panthers interested in DT Antonio Smith

I guess as a replacement for Edwards...

 

 

Mike Jurecki of XTRA 910 Phoenix reports free agent DL Antonio Smith is drawing interest from the Falcons, Panthers, and Bucs.

The NFC South is hot after Smith, who also hasn't closed the door on a return to Houston. Smith, 32, can play in both 4-3 and 3-4 defenses as an interior pass rusher. He's racked up a respectable 27 sacks over the last five seasons.

Didn't we resign Edwards last season? Believe he'd replace Cole.

He looks like a DE to me.

Edwards still under contract for next season.  No reason to let him go, his contract is cheaper than a lot of other of the DT's on the market and he had a solid season backing up KK and Star.  Likely replacing Cole.

isnt cole short and star enough? let spend our money on our needs ffs..

They were talking about cutting Edwards cause he makes too much. I don't know.

Sounds like we don't have much faith in our depth at DE to me

No, you really need a 4 man rotation at such a physical position. This guy seems a lot more versatile than Cole.

Smith is a DE, not a DT.

Rotoworld have him as a DT. U tell em.

A 34 DE is often times a 43 DT.

Interesting. He'd be a UT for us. Doubt we are cutting Dwan, since he doesn't make that much.

He does look more like a DE.
