The Carolina Panthers are poised to aggressively pursue free agents this offseason, targeting key players to bolster their defense. Notable names linked to the Panthers include Josh Sweat, who showcased his prowess in the Super Bowl and would address their pressing need for edge rushers. Osa Odighizuwa, a former Dallas Cowboy, also fits the bill as a top-tier defensive tackle to mitigate last season's woes in stopping the run. Additionally, the Panthers may look at Dre Greenlaw, whose injury history could make him a cost-effective option, and Nick Bolton, who might prefer to stay with the Kansas City Chiefs but could be tempted by a lucrative offer.

On the offensive front, Drew Dalman is a center prospect who can finally provide stability at a vital position where the Panthers struggled last year. The wide receiver corps could see a boost with Darius Slayton potentially joining, adding depth and versatility, even if he’s primarily seen as a WR2. The Panthers are keen to revamp their roster and inject new talent, aiming for a substantial impact next season.
