Carolina Panthers overpaid for Robby Anderson in free agency

Reports indicate that the Carolina Panthers have agreed on a two-year deal with free agent wide receiver Robby Anderson. It looks like they overpaid when they didn’t even have to.

With a clear need at wide receiver heading into the offseason, the Carolina Panthers had some tough questions to answer. Do they take a gamble on a free agent wide receiver? Do they wait until the 2020 NFL Draft and select one there? With their current salary cap situation, all signs pointed they would likely wait until the draft to address this area of need.

ESPN reports that the Carolina Panthers decided to address this issue now in free agency by agreeing to terms with wide receiver Robby Anderson.
