The Carolina Panthers spared no expense when it came to fortifying the defensive trenches this offseason. Dan Morgan had no other option after a historically poor campaign, but this was always going to come with some collateral damage.
It became clear who the biggest sacrificial lamb would be before Carolina reached the cut-down deadline. Adam Schefter from ESPN reported, which was later confirmed by other local beat writers, that the Panthers were releasing Shy Tuttle. This was something of a surprise, but there weren't many tears shed from the fans' perspective.
Tuttle was set up to fail in Carolina.
