Carolina Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer once famously said that he’d be “in on every deal.” And while that’s a beautiful sentiment, it doesn’t mean that every deal is necessarily going to be a great one.
Take defensive end Darryl Johnson, for instance, who the team waived on Tuesday morning. Exactly one year ago, the Panthers acquired the 6-foot-6, 262-pounder from the Buffalo Bills in exchange for a 2022 sixth-round selection.
