Panthers staring at intriguing free agent fit after head-turning release

The Carolina Panthers want to enhance their pass-rushing options this offseason. General manager Dan Morgan made no secret of that fact during his end-of-season media availability, and he plans to be aggressive in pursuit of solving this critical need before the 2026 campaign.

How the Panthers go about this is the big question. They have seven draft picks, including the No. 19 overall selection, to potentially add another dynamic pass-rusher to the ranks. There is also free agency, but Carolina isn't blessed with much salary-cap space right now.

That will change once releases and possible restructures come to light.
