Carolina Panthers – $49.7 million

87. What was it that ultimately cost the Carolina Panthers in the Super Bowl? That’s right. Protection on the edges. It’s also a big reason the team fell apart this past seasons. Michael Oher and Mike Remmers just can’t get it done against top NFL edge rushers. That’s why the Panthers either need to invest heavily in their running game or they have to do anything possible to improve at the tackle positions. This free agent crop isn’t strong, but there are quality options. <p>Riley Reiff is among the best. He’s not a Pro Bowler but the former tackle from Iowa has done a steady, solid job protecting quarterback Matthew Stafford up in Detroit. He’s technically sound and doesn’t make a lot of mistakes. He also rarely gets whipped by top rushers, though he may give up the occasional pressure due to certain limitations. It may not seem like a home run signing. Nevertheless it’s a step towards keeping Cam Newton more secure.</p>. OT. Detroit. Riley Reiff . 10. player
