The Carolina Panthers needed to find a short-term stopgap at the left tackle position after Ikem Ekwonu suffered a ruptured patellar tendon against the Los Angeles Rams. Most fans were expecting general manager Dan Morgan to go down the draft route, but he had something else in mind.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Panthers have signed Rasheed Walker to a one-year deal. He was considered the best veteran left tackle on the market after a four-year stint with the Green Bay Packers, so this represents another significant coup for Morgan during what's been an eventful free agency so far.
