Newly acquired left tackle Russell Okung is in no mood to hear talk of a rebuilding season with the Carolina Panthers in 2020.
The formidable offensive lineman was traded to Carolina at the start of free agency for fellow Pro Bowler Trai Turner, who went to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Okung overcame a life-threatening pulmonary embolism last season to continue what has been a standout career to date. He will now provide blindside blocking for new Panthers’ quarterback Teddy Bridgwater following his free-agent move from the New Orleans Saints.
