Panthers Signings
Eugene Wilson (89/89) - immediate starter at FS, position locked up for 5 years
Jordan Gross (92/93) - long term deal for about the price of the franchise tag
Michael Turner (84/86) - RB with the skills and intangibles to be the starter
Jeff Faine (86/88) - will be moved to G, another spot on the O-line resolved
Trades
Panthers receive:
DE Elvis Dumervil (88/90)
Broncos receive:
2008 3rd round pick (67)
2009 4th round pick
After the Broncos signed Justin Smith, Dumervil went on the block. He starts opposite Peppers to increase my pass rush.
Panthers receive:
2008 4th round pick (121)
2009 5th round pick
Titans receive:
RB DeAngelo Williams (68/76)
I received offers from a few teams for DeAngelo Williams. He was never going to be a focal point of my offense, and I get a couple mid round picks for him.
