Last year, Carolina was spending more money at defensive tackle than anybody else by a mile. This year, it’s a different story. Gerald McCoy, Vernon Butler and Dontari Poe all left in free agency, leaving the interior pretty thin. If either Kawann Short or Derrick Brown are hurt, that could mean a big opportunity for Roy, who played for coach Matt Rhule at Baylor. Roy’s size makes him the closest thing to Poe currently on the roster. That could come in handy if the team struggles against the run again.
