News broke today that the Panthers have reached a one-year deal with former Atlanta Falcon, Bruce Irvin, most known for his days with the Seattle Seahawks. While Irvin’s most disruptive days may be behind him, this is an important addition to a defensive line that struggled last season and only weakened this offseason with Julius Pepper’s retirement.
