Byron Bell says goodbye to Carolina


Running back DeAngelo Williams apparently isn’t the only member of the Panthers to get word from the team that they won’t be needed by the team in 2015.
Left tackle Byron Bell is set to become a free agent next month and he wrote on his Instagram account Monday that “it’s been real” in Carolina but that the time has come to see “where the Lord takes me next.” Bell writes that he would “love more” after four years with the Panthers and Jonathan Jones of the Charlotte Observer confirms that the Panthers are looking elsewhere.
It’s the expected choice for the Panthers. Bell moved to the left side following the retirement of Jordan Gross and started all but one game for the Panthers in 2014, but the results were dismal and there was little doubt as the season progressed that they’d need to move in a different direction.
Bell made the Panthers as an undrafted free agent in 2011 and took over at right tackle a short time later. He made 56 starts in 62 regular season appearances during his tenure.
