Former Birmingham Iron guard Kitt O’Brien has signed a one-year deal with the Panthers, according to the team’s website.O’Brien (6-foot-5 https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Mike-Adams-Jersey , 325 lbs) has spent time with the Colts and Browns since being an undrafted free agent in 2013 out of Ball State. He was most recently with the Birmingham Iron in the AAF before the league disbanded earlier in the week.O’Brien gives the Panthers another offensive lineman to look at during offseason workouts for potential depth. The team has continued to search every possible nook and cranny for offensive linemen this offseason to hopefully provide franchise quarterback Cam Newton some adequate protection in 2019. There’s a chance that O’Brien can impress enough to make the 53-man roster at the end of the summer, but right now I’d say his most likely landing spot is the practice squad. Things can certainly change https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Matt-Kalil-Jersey , though, so keep an eye on him throughout the team’s offseason workouts. He may just surprise us all.
