The Carolina Panthers are poised for an aggressive offseason despite their limited cap space and numerous roster gaps. Aiming to rebuild their struggling defense, the Panthers are expected to pursue high-profile free agents while leveraging their nine draft picks. ESPN's Dan Graziano suggests they could target top safeties like Jevon Holland and Camryn Bynum, and defensive tackle Milton Williams from the Eagles. Edge rusher Chase Young is also on their radar. General Manager Dan Morgan is keen to extend cornerback Jaycee Horn as the cornerback market heats up, with significant contracts on the horizon for emerging stars.

With a defense that underperformed last season, the Panthers recognize that the draft alone won't address all their needs. They are reportedly looking to make bold moves, potentially freeing more cap space to sign marquee players, enhancing their chances in the competitive NFC South.
