Luke Kuechly tops list of most valuable LBs since 2006

The Carolina Panthers news regarding Luke Kuechly’s retirement was a devastating blow to the franchise. The prolific linebacker called it a day after eight hugely successful seasons that saw him become one of the team’s greatest ever players.

This was the latest in a series of disappointing elements to the Panthers offseason. And one that could see their fortunes go from bad-to-worse in 2020. While this is to be expected during a period of transition, having someone like Kuechly around to provide a supreme role model to younger roster members would have been a significant asset to call upon.
