In a disappointing season, the Carolina Panthers recorded the worst defense in NFL history, allowing an average of 179.8 rushing yards per game and only managing to sack opposing quarterbacks 32 times. This lack of defensive prowess has led to speculation about potential moves in the offseason, particularly the possibility of acquiring Jeffery Simmons from the Tennessee Titans. Analysts suggest that adding Simmons, who is under contract until 2027, could help solidify the Panthers' defensive line alongside Jadeveon Clowney and Derrick Brown. However, the Panthers face significant cap challenges, with Simmons set to earn $17.5 million next season. Given their pressing needs across the roster and limited cap space, pursuing this trade may be unrealistic for the Panthers at this time.
