The Carolina Panthers have themselves quite a bit of work to do on their offensive line, and the center position is certainly no exception.
According to Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network, the team has some early interest in free agent center Bradley Bozeman. The former sixth-round pick back from 2018 has played the last four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens.

Bozeman is one of the top centers currently on the open market. He’s shown steady improvement in each of those four campaigns—according to Pro Football Focus—having recorded a 56.1 overall grade in 2018, a 63.4 in 2019, a 64.3 in 2020 and a 73.3 in 2021.
This past season saw the 27-year-old start all 17 games in the middle of Baltimore’s line. He was charged with just 21 pressures over 718 pass-blocking snaps, with three of those accounting as sacks.
As their own starting center in Matt Paradis has now hit free agency, the Panthers probably wouldn’t mind enlisting the services of an improving Bozeman.
