There is the inevitable talk at this time of the year in the NFL when fans look to harvest news and the signing of Panthers DJ Wonnum is a story.
Wonnum was signed from the Vikings after Brian Burns was traded to the Giants.
The linebacker was unequivocal in his response to the replacement theory.
“Well, I’m not looking to replace anybody,” Wonnum told Anthony Rizzuti of USAToday.com.
“I’m looking to be the best version of myself, the best player I know I can be. And obviously, the film that I’ve put out there, I can be an every-down starter. I can play the run, I can pass rush, I can drop in coverage, I can do whatever coach wants me to do. Obviously going here and coming here, I’ll be able to showcase that. And the future is bright for myself and the Carolina Panthers.”
Wonnum will look to turn around the fortune of the basement dwelling Panthers this season.
