Panthers sign OLB/DE Antwan Applewhite

[Coachnorm]

Panthers signed OLB/DE Antwan Applewhite. The Panthers are desperate for linebacker help after losing both Jon Beason and Thomas Davis for the season. Applewhite flashed pass rush ability with the Chargers and can help on special teams. Head coach Ron Rivera was with San Diego as the linebackers coach/defensive coordinator from 2007-10. While Applewhite will probably not be an IDP stud he may effect the production of others on the Panthers team and could supply a slight nudge to the Panthers D overall.

I have read another report that speculates Applewhites duties will be more along the lines of giving a boost to the pass rush.
