The Carolina Panthers were dealt a bombshell blow to begin training camp. One that casts questions on the decisions made by general manager Dan Morgan earlier this offseason.
Morgan spent lavish sums and draft picks on improving the defense during his second recruitment period at the helm. But for all the positive moves made, the linebacking corps got nothing more than free-agent signing Christian Rozeboom into the mix.
The Panthers were confident that veteran Josey Jewell and second-year pro Trevin Wallace could occupy the starting positions, with Rozebomm providing a solid rotational presence and special-teams threat.
