Sam Martin CARPunter#6 Panthers re-signed P Sam Martin to a two-year contract. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Martin’s deal is up to $5 million. Martin joined the Panthers last season on a one-year deal and wound up booting 56 punts for an average of 47.2 yards per punt. Martin is a 13-year vet of the league who has spent time with four different franchises. He landed a career-best 48.2 percent of his kicks inside his opponent’s 20-yard line last season.

$5 million

#Panthers Luke Fortner: one year, $2.75M, $825K signing bonus, $1.325M fully gtd, salary $1.215M https://x.com/aaronwilson_nfl/status/2033511565933072710?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

I think the front office’s thought process on these four needs is probably pretty simple: they’re asking themselves at each position, is there a free agent available who can clearly upgrade the roster right now? Free Safety: No obvious upgrade in free agency, so this likely points to the draft Defensive Tackle: Same situation. Outside of older vets like DJ Reader, there’s not much that truly moves the needle, so this probably gets addressed in the draft as well Will ILB: Again, mostly depth-type free agents (Akeem Davis-Gaither, Kenneth Murray types), not clear upgrades — so draft makes sense here too Tight End: This is the one spot where there are potential upgrades available in free agency, like David Njoku or maybe Jonnu Smith So if I had to guess the approach: FS – Draft WILL ILB – Draft DT – Draft TE- We can still upgrade through free agency

Yes, a gay dude

Completely agree. This guy is not an EDGE he’s a 3-4 DE

$9.9m cap hit this year, which is what we expected them to do. Backload the cap hits. Via @spotrac

he's a fatty

Agreed. If Nick is starting again next season, something probably went wrong. I think we're guaranteed to draft a safety in the upcoming draft

Nick was very solid last season (111 tackles, 3 passes defensed, PFF grade: 67.8). As long as he’s not relied on as a starter next year, he’d be a strong option as a third or fourth safety and provide good depth in the secondary

Panthers are re-signing returning starting S Nick Scott on a 1-year deal worth up to $3.25 million, per agents Jeremy Appledorf (@J_App10) and Ed Wasielewski (@ed_waz) of EMG Sports. Scott was 2nd on Panthers last yr w/ career-high 111 tackles and is a leader on Ejiro Evero’s D. https://x.com/josephperson/status/2032962575495819307?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

Nick Scott CARFree Safety#21 Panthers re-signed S Nick Scott to a one-year, $3.25 million contract.

We can still restructure Jaycee's contract and/or extend Damien Lewis if the front office chooses to do so

Really enjoy your analysis

He's terrific

Good signing by the Panthers to take advantage of the market dropping out on Packers LT Rasheed Walker. Gives them a very high-end insurance policy for Ickey Ekwonu, who's not a sure thing to be back for Week 1, as he rehabs a torn patellar tendon. https://x.com/albertbreer/status/2032574477658149033?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

IMO the @Panthers have had one of the best first weeks of FA. https://x.com/tonypauline/status/2032561225024844183?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA
