The Carolina Panthers have endured a lot of injuries on their

offensive line so far this season Blue Luke Kuechly Jersey , and are using the bye week to try and find more depth at the position. To that end, Marty Hurney appears to have called up his old buddy Brandon Beane up at Carolina North (the Buffalo Bills) and worked out a trade for G\T Marshall Newhouse.Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed, but we will update you when they are. Chances are it is another trade of the conditional late pick variety.UPDATE: The Panthers traded a conditional 2021 7th round draft pick, and have waived OT Corey Robinson to clear a roster spot. The waiver of Robinson reclaims the conditional 2020 7th round draft pick sent to the Detroit Lions.Newhouse has had a long NFL career spanning nine seasons and making around 70 starts across various teams. He was drafted by Green Bay in the fifth round back in 2010 where he played out his rookie contract, then bounced around as a journeyman to the Bengals, Giants Luke Kuechly Jersey 2019 , Raiders, and finally the Buffalo Bills.Newhouse has the ability to play at both tackle spots as well as both guard spots, giving him quite a bit of versatility. His time in Buffalo was pretty unremarkable however, and the general feeling amongst their fan base seems to be “don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”That said... John Matsko is currently on fire as far as turning lumps of clay into fine art, so let’s hope he can do it again, and the Panthers have added a decent depth piece to a front that needs it. These dates carry us through the draft Blue Ryan Kalil Jersey , which is the end of just about everything interesting in the NFL until August."The franchise tag deadline passed this week with nary a whisper of the Panthers making an ill advised move to retain free agent talent such as Daryl Williams or Colin Jones. That leaves free agency and the draft as the two biggest events on the NFL offseason calendar. They are also the only two avenues the Panthers have for improving their roster.Free agency is a weird process in which the NFL instituted rules to ensure fair and balanced negotiating between players and interested teams. Then, when almost nobody paid a lick of attention to those rules and instead engaged in “tampering” with free agents, the league decided to institute a period of “legal tampering” because they are allergic to doing anything sensible. As such, the next relevant date of the offseason is the opening of the legal tampering period on March 11th.March 11: Legal tampering period beginsMarch 13, 4 p.m. ET: Start of league year, free agencyMarch 24-27: Annual owners’ meetingsApril 25: First round of the draftApril 26: Second and third rounds of the draftApril 27: Fourth through seventh rounds of the draftTeams can negotiate with players through the legal tampering period but neither party can sign a contract until the official opening of free agency at 4 p.m. ET on March 13. If that seems like a weirdly arbitrary time Ryan Kalil Jersey 2019 , please refer to the statement on allergies in the previous paragraph.This time and date is also the official start of the “league year” which is like a fiscal year except that it has nothing to do with money. Except that it has a lot to do with money, since this is the deadline for teams to be under the salary cap for a given season. Really, don’t try to understand the NFL so much as accept that some of its flaws are worth fighting about and some are not.This takes us to the draft. That runs from April 25-27. That means you have just a hair over a month to refine your perfect mock draft. Remember that style doesn’t matter so much as substance. Which round a player gets picked or how many trades you had to conduct to get there are all irrelevant. If you predict every single player the Panthers take then you are the new owner of the franchise. At least, I think that’s how it works.After that is the endless expanse of rookie minicamps and Organized Team Activities. Those end sometime in June prior to the start of training camp and the sad spectacle of us getting excited for preseason games because, hey, at least they are football. We’ll dig into those dates after the draft. This is your schedule for the near future 2019 Trai Turner Jersey , don’t forget to mark your calendars. Or, you know, just keep coming back because we’ll tell you about all of these things as they happen. The choice is yours.
