The Panthers are signing former Chargers guard Michael Schofield to a one-year deal, according to a report by Jeremy Fowler at ESPN. Schofield has a connection via Carolina’s offensive line coach Pat Meyer, who was Schofield’s position coach the last three seasons.
Schofield (6-foot-6, 301 pounds) was originally a third-round draft pick by the Broncos in 2014. After three years in Denver, he moved on to the Chargers.
All together, he’s played in 76 NFL games, with 66 starts. He has mostly played right guard in the pros, but he has also put in time at right tackle and he came up playing left guard at Michigan.
Most likely, Carolina sees Schofield as the new starter at left guard to replace Greg Van Roten, who signed with the Jets.
