The Carolina Panthers caused a stir by fixing their left tackle problem with the signing of Rasheed Walker. This came out of nowhere, but it could be an absolute bargain as a stopgap option while Ikem Ekwonu recovers from a ruptured patellar tendon.
Walker was reportedly in high demand, regarded as the best left tackle option on the free-agent market. The Panthers were never touted as a legitimate suitor for the player. General manager Dan Morgan had other ideas, striking with conviction to get his guy.
According to reports, Walker's contract could be worth up to $10 million.
