You know I say it all the time. It’s a terribly slow time of year in terms of football news. To be honest, whether you’re a pro or college team, right now making the news is not entirely a good thing. It seems lately that the only teams making big news are the teams who are signing big time free agents, and if your team is signing big time free agents, then you’re likely attempting to get better because you weren’t the best last year. Or, you might be making news for other unsavory affairs (like losing half your defense or being embroiled in a cheating scandal, just to cover the two Super Bowl teams), which is never good either.
While the Panthers have fallen into the category of “making news for making moves” after a lackluster 2007 season, they have managed to put a very positive spin on their offseason so far. Now, with most of their free agent signings behind them, the Panthers have turned their attention to the draft. Carolina was among the teams gathered to watch players from Boston College work out. They have also been checking out players from Miami. The Panthers are likely to draft an offensive tackle with their first round draft pick this April.
