Panthers sign Ken Lucas and Mike Wahle

Carolina needed O-line help bad after they got raided last year.

Nice help for the Cats in two areas that they needed based on last year's team.

If you guys want to pay 8 Mil/season for Lucas, go ahead. He's a below-average #1/great #2 corner at the best of times. Player-wise, it's a good signing for them though.

Wahle is a great signing for them. Now you suddenly put Gross alongside him and it mirrors the Jones/Hutchinson combo we have here in Seattle.

I'm surprised Carolina wanted Lucas so bad. I thought they'd be content with Gamble and Manning Jr. as the starters.

See, now that Lucas is going to make $8 mil a season, Anthony Henry's $4 mil a season looks a little more meager, eh?

I like Lucas a lot better than Anthony Henry, they both got overpaid though. Nice signing on Wahle though, he is insane good. The Panthers have to be right alongside the Eagles for NFC Championship contenders next year.

Why are people paying so much for secondary help? That is just silly, $13.5 mil? Great signing on the O-line though.
