The Carolina Panthers have struggled to find reliable linebacker play for years, with Shaq Thompson's performances hindered by injuries. While Josey Jewell and rookie Trevin Wallace have contributed, the team lacks a dominant presence in the middle.
With the memory of Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis in mind, the Panthers should pursue free agent Dre Greenlaw. After recovering from an Achilles injury, Greenlaw's impact on the San Francisco 49ers' defense has been evident, making him a valuable target.
However, concerns remain regarding his fit in Carolina's system and his recent injury history. The next few games will be crucial for assessing his readiness for free agency, but competition for his services could be fierce.
