The organization announced on social media that they have re-signed defensive tackle Kyle Love. The deal is reportedly for two years, however the money involved still hasn’t been revealed. One would guess that it’s going to be hardly a dent in the salary cap to bring back the familiar face.
For a little history lesson, 2017 will be Love’s third active year with the team (they brought him in towards the end of 2014 but he didn’t play). During that span, Love has played in 25 games, logging 28 total tackles, 4.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and 2 fumble recoveries. He’s a purely rotational option, but he outperformed and eventually outplayed high cost signing Paul Soliai in 2016 despite having very little chance of actually making the roster. He will fill out a rotation behind Kawann Short and Star Lotulelei, which includes 2016 first round pick Vernon Butler, who should look to be way more involved in his second season.
It’s the reunion tour, y’all! What do you think, Panthers fans?
