Summary
The release of Star Lotulelei has opened the door for former first round pick Vernon Butler. The team will hope that Butler, who has been mediocre at times in his spot duty, can take the next step in his career arc and give new signing Dontari Poe a run for his money. The Poe signing shouldn't be interpreted as a sleight against Butler; the Panthers are known for their proclivity to rotate their defensive linemen often. Butler will primarily play 1-technique in the Panthers' scheme, so he will not provide a steady source of fantasy points - if Star Lotulelei's box scores are anything to go by.
