Looks like adding depth and Evero is getting guys he has experience with.  Good idea keeping Evero happy.

Panthers have agreed to terms with former Broncos LB Justin Strnad on a 1-year deal, per league source.
Strnad, who was with Ejiro Evero for a season in Denver, provides depth (behind Josey Jewell, another ex-Bronco) and play special teams.

How do you even pronounce that name? LOL  "Strrrrrr-nad"?

WELL ..... Let's not worry about how to pronounce it..

Once again, counting chickens, eggs in a basket, no matter how you describe it... putting the cart before the horse can lead to different shades of consternation.

NEWS ON THE STREET---

According to NFL Network's Mike Garofolo --- The Panthers have now lost the services of LB Justin Strnad. He has apparently 'changed his mind' and has decided to return to Denver. Ahhh, the ever-present dangers of relying on supposition. Until it's signed and official, it's NOT a done deal.  This one lasted about three hours..!!!!!

Drafting a ilb this year early would continue a trend.  We plan ahead there.  Dan, Beason,  TD, Luke.  2-3 more.  I’m sure I’m missing some.  We’ve picked well there in the past.  We usually have steady lb play, except last year - Luvu, balled out.  Jewel n Shaq should do well.  2 green dot guys. 

No matter what we draft, we prolly need it.

If you remember Luvu was a free agent signing who had really under performed previously.  We got a not terrible, not great player cheap.  What he became was a nice surprise.  I hope Morgan and company can find some of those guys.   Going to be a key for our future. (Still bummed Luvu wanted to leave.)
