CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Carolina Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer was in his first season as the director of college scouting at Seattle in 2011 when the Seahawks' secondary that became the “Legion of Boom’’ began to take shape.
Monday’s trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars for cornerback CJ Henderson has a similar feel.
Short-term, the trade shows the Panthers (3-0) are in a win-now mode as they try to replace 2021 first-round pick Jaycee Horn, who is likely out for the season with a broken foot suffered in Thursday’s win at Houston.
