Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.Irvin has been in the league since he was drafted in the first round (No. 15 overall) by the Seattle Seahawks in the 2012 NFL Draft. He has also spent time with the Oakland Raiders and Atlanta Falcons. In eight games with the Falcons last year, Irvin recorded 3.5 sacks and 13 tackles.Provided it didn’t cost too much money, this is a solid move by the Panthers to add some quality veteran depth to their defensive line. Before today Curtis Samuel Color Rush Jersey , their pass rush consisted of Mario Addison, Efe Obada, Bryan Cox Jr. and Marquis Haynes. Irvin may not be as good now as he was earlier in his career Daeshon Hall Jersey , but he’s solid enough that he can be considered a quality addition in free agency for a team who has a desperate need for players who can pressure the quarterback.What do you think of this move, Panthers fans? Let us hear your thoughts. The Panthers know they need some quarterback depth, but they aren’t looking for him in March.Panthers coach Ron Rivera just told reporters at the Scouting Combine that any potential backup to Cam Newton who isn’t on the roster would likely come from the college ranks.“If we did do anything Trai Turner Color Rush Jersey , I think it’d probably be in the draft,” Rivera said.Starter Cam Newton is coming off an arthroscopic shoulder procedure after not being able to throw the ball downfield late last season, and Rivera indicated things were progressing well. They have Kyle Allen on the roster and Taylor Heinicke is a restricted free agent Taylor Moton Jersey , and Rivera is working really hard to talk up those backups. But Allen was cut in training camp and only came back when it was an emergency last year, and it seems unwise to put too much stock on his performance in a throwaway game against the Saints to close the regular season.For a team that fell a game short of the playoffs last year when their starter fell apart, you’d think they’d take the search for a reliable backup more seriously. Hoping that it’s Allen seems like more of a wish than a plan Wes Horton Color Rush Jersey , and how early in the draft they address the position will be an indication of how they really feel about what’s on hand.
