The Carolina Panthers made the smart move to bring in free-agent cornerback Eli Apple. This solves an area of need for the franchise ahead of a potential return to minicamp next month.
Apple is an intriguing short-term option that has a good chance of making an instant impact. He spent last season with the New Orleans Saints and should slot into the rotation instantly with the Carolina Panthers.
While there could be another veteran corner to come in and compete for a place on the 53-man roster during training camp. Apple will be tasked with bolstering a secondary that was among the worst in the NFL in 2019.
