Panthers Sign a Fattee

It’s the offseason, in case you hadn’t noticed. It is still that dead period between free agent moves of actual importance and the all-important NFL draft. As such, the good journalists all over this country are forced to come up with nonstories about basically nothing. They give us retrospectives, lists, and any multitude of of other stories that only half-pertain to what is going on with the world of the NFL, be they write-ups on possible pre-draft needs, low level free agent signings of men who might not even make the cut of your team, answers to grumbling players, or just plain lists of all time greats.

The Charlotte Observer is reporting that the Panthers made yet another move in free agency. This time, the Panthers signed guard Tanui Fanoti.  Fanoti was a second-round draft by the Chargers a few years ago, but has battled injuries that led to weight issues throughout this career.  The Panthers likely got Fanoti at an extreme discount, and they are hopeful that the player can get his weight under control and turn back into the dominant guard he once was.  If this gamble plays off, the Panthers will look like absolute geniuses.
