Panthers sign edge Jaelan Phillips Terms: Four years, $120 million Grade: B- The Panthers needed edge help and decided to pay up to get it. They landed Phillips to improve a unit that ranked 24th in pass rush win rate and 32nd in run stop win rate last season. Phillips should be an asset in both areas. The former Dolphin and Eagle has never had a double-digit sack season but clearly makes an impact as an edge rusher. Injuries derailed his early career in Miami: a torn Achilles in 2023 and a partially torn ACL in 2024 set him back. But he was effective again last season between Miami and Philadelphia and, critically, played 17 games. Phillips ranked in the 92nd percentile in pressure rate and 55th percentile in pass rush win rate and run stop win rate at edge. At 27 years old, the Panthers are getting Phillips in the prime of his career, and he fills a major need. Nic Scourton showed promise as a rookie, but they need an edge opposite him. D.J. Wonnum, who ranked in the 12th percentile in pass rush win rate at edge last season, is a free agent. At $30 million per year, this is a big contract, but it's not the top of the market. Accounting for cap inflation, Phillips' deal is the 26th highest in terms of APY by an edge rusher since 2015, per OverTheCap.com. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47911726/2026-nfl-free-agency-grades-signings-trades-latest-best-worst-deals-draft-outlook

Kenny Pickett CARQuarterback#15 Panthers signed QB Kenny Pickett to a one-year, $7.5 million contract. The $7.5 million is solid backup money, just under the contract signed by Gardner Minshew with the Cardinals earlier in the day. Andy Dalton remains under contract through the 2026 season but could take on more of a mentor-type role, assuming the team retains his services. Pickett “boasts” a 16-to-16 touchdown-to-interception ratio across 27 starts and 36 appearances during his four-year NFL career.

per me

Nvm Raiders just signed him

Fall back could be Nakobe Dean

Akayleb Evans CARDefensive Back#21 Panthers re-signed CB Akayleb Evans to a one-year contract. 26-year-old Evans mixes in sporadically on defense, but is primarily a core special teamer. Signing at this stage of the offseason suggests the Panthers like him enough that his 53-man roster spot should be secure heading into training camp.

Robert Rochell CARCornerback#33 Panthers re-signed CB Robert Rochell to a one-year contract. Rochell is a special teams gunner the Panthers have decided to keep in the fold now rather than waiting until the second wave of free agency. He turns 28 next month.

Cade Mays DETCenter#64 Lions agreed to terms with C Cade Mays, formerly of the Panthers, on a three-year, $25 million contract. A boost for Jahmyr Gibbs! Mays is a huge power-blocking 6-foot-6, 325-pound center and should help solidify a troubled interior line for the Lions. It allows them to leave Christian Mahogany and Tate Ratledge at guard and makes Juice Scruggs a depth piece.
