Episode Details

The Carolina Panthers were aggressive in adding pieces to a defensive unit that ranked worst in the NFL in 2024 during the first day of the legal negotiating period. To conclude a busy day of rebuilding the defense, the Panthers re-signed starting cornerback Mike Jackson to a two-year deal, retaining him alongside Jaycee Horn for the next two seasons. On Tuesday, the Panthers secured a deal with Shy Tuttle, reworking his contract and freeing up an additional $3 million in cap space. With Jackson returning and Tuttle back in the fold, have the Panthers met all their defensive needs during free agency?

The Panthers hoped to keep backup running back Miles Sanders for another season but couldn't reach an agreement over a pay cut, leading to the team releasing Sanders and saving $5.3 million against the salary cap. Now that Sanders is gone from Carolina, the Panthers need a running back to back up Chuba Hubbard while Jonathon Brooks recovers from a second ACL tear. Will the Panthers add a veteran running back during free agency or wait until the draft?

Panthers GM Dan Morgan stated that while the team aims to fill defensive needs, they wouldn't neglect the offense. So far, the Panthers haven't made any offensive free-agent signings. Which position on offense could they address next?
