General manager Marty Hurney got his hands on a free-agent cornerback as the next piece in his puzzle with the Carolina Panthers. With little resources available financially, they managed to secure the services of former first-round pick Eli Apple, who spent last season with the New Orleans Saints.
The organization could still bring in another veteran to fight for a spot on the 53-man roster during camp. This might be easier said than done in the current climate. And their asking price would be a contributing factor after giving Apple $3 million on a one-year deal.
