CHARLOTTE The Panthers’ dedication to maintaining a potent offensive line is being taken seriously.
Brady Christensen is a lineman who can start at any spot along the line, and the organization agreed to terms on a new deal with him on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old Christensen, a former starting guard, demonstrated his flexibility last season by starting games at center and left tackle.
Last year, offensive coordinator Brad Idzik remarked, “Brady is well versed at every position.” “Brady physically played outside in every location, so he absorbed everything and understood how everything worked together. Bravo to Brady, who plays center, for being able to convey these ideas and bring us all together.”
Their starting offensive line from the first game of the previous season is still in place, but Christensen’s versatility is crucial.
Last Saturday, one day after keeping backup center Cade Mays via a restricted free agency tender, they reached an agreement on a new contract for center Austin Corbett. However, Christensen became a target because of his wide range of skills.
When Christensen moved into center last season due to Corbett’s injury, quarterback Andy Dalton remarked, “It’s definitely different than every other position; there definitely is a learning curve when it comes to that,” Brady, however, has played every position on the field. He seems capable of organizing and setting things up, in my opinion.
“He plays football well. I won’t claim that he is a good center, guard, left tackle, or right tackle. You’ll claim he’s a good football player who can play a variety of positions and be successful. He performed incredibly well in the game, and I believe that has enabled him. He will only continue to improve since playing that position calls for a little bit more of you.”
