The Panthers have signed linebacker Josh Bynes, per a club announcement. To make room on the roster, the Panthers released safety Lano Hill. 
Bynes was one of a handful of veterans the Ravens added to their defense in the middle of the 2019 season. In 2019, he recorded 46 tackles, a sack, and two interceptions, and Pro Football Focus gave him high marks for his coverage and run-stopping abilities.
After helping to stabilize Baltimore’s front seven, the Bengals picked him up last year and made him a first-stringer for all 16 games. Bynes finished out 2020 with some of the best numbers of his career — 99 tackles, a sack, and two passes defensed.
Bynes, 32 later this month, isn’t an elite stopper, but he could provide valuable veteran experience for the Panthers. He’s got 117 career appearances under his belt and a championship ring on his finger after securing the final tackle of Super Bowl XLVII.
Article sums it up nicely. Bynes has never been a star, but he’s been either solid depth or an acceptable starter for years in the league. I think he’s gotten better as his career has progressed, actually, as compared to before. Bynes is a smart player who stays in his assignments, and his experience should be good for a young Panthers team if he sticks.
It’s not saying a whole lot, but there were a lot of times last year that I really thought Bynes was the best player in the Bengals front seven.
I was surprised they didn’t bring him back.
