Before someone question why Panthers let Reyes go:

REYES RESEARCH: Some blog followers have been asking so I did some homework as to why the Carolina Panthers aren’t interested in re-signing Tutan Reyes who made a free agent visit with the Bills Tuesday.
Talking to some people familiar with the offensive line situation down there, the Panthers coaching staff believes that second-year guard Evan Mathis is ready to take over.
Apparently the coaching staff was thinking about making the move and insert Mathis into the starting lineup at midseason last year in place of Reyes, but the team was playing well and winning so they elected not to do so.
It’s been explained to me that the Panthers liked Reyes and thought he was decent last season. They just believe he’s reached his ceiling as a player while there is considerable upside in their minds with Mathis their third round pick last year out of Alabama.
