The Carolina Panthers announced that they have signed FB Richie Brockel to a two-year contract and OG Garry Williams to a one-year deal on Monday.
Brockel, 27, has started in just two games, and has appeared in 43 games for the Panthers. Brockel played just 166 snaps last season and in large part was a liability according to ProFootball Focus. Williams, also 27, suffered a season-ending knee injury during the team’s season opener as a starter at right guard.
The low risk signings by the Panthers provide some depth and competition for the offseason. Brockel was slated to become a restricted free agent and Williams was set to become an unrestricted free agent before signing.
