CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers ended their offseason program on Thursday. Here’s a look at how they fared:
Offseason goals/grade: The Panthers wanted to shore up an offensive line that was depleted by injuries last season and add more explosive weapons to take pressure off quarterback Cam Newton. It remains to be seen whether signing free-agent left tackle Matt Kalil to a five-year, $55.5 million deal -- one that seems a bit high to me -- will shore up the line. The uncertainty of tackle Michael Oher (concussion protocol) also throws a wrench in things.
