Rico Dowdle CARRunning Back#23 Panthers signed Rico Dowdle to a one-year, $6.25 million contract. The 6-foot, 215-pound Dowdle is a great fit for the Panthers’ backfield, capable of handling north-south rushing work, and even contributing in the passing game, while Chuba Hubbard takes a breather. The Panthers needed a reliable backup with 2024 second-round pick, Jonathon Brooks (knee), on the mend and Dowdle fits the bill.

In 2024, Dowdle appeared in 16 games for the Cowboys and rushed for 1,079 yards on 235 carries to go along with 39 receptions for 249 yards receiving and five touchdowns.

The Panthers now have two 1,000-yard rushers in a backfield that produced the 11th-best rushing EPA last season.

Kick/punt returner: Raheem Blackshear was ne in his role as a returner last year. However, the Panthers need to do better in that department this season. Blackshear, of note, is also a pending restricted free agent. Though, the expectation is that he won’t be tendered on Wednesday and will become an unrestricted free agent

Per Mike Kaye: Here are the Panthers’ biggest remaining needs as the team enters free agency: Safety: The Panthers have just two players at the position entering the middle of the week: Moehrig and second-year DB Demani Richardson. While Moehrig, based on his contract, is the crown jewel of the Panthers’ free-agent haul, Richardson is still a bit of a mystery. At best, the Panthers need at least three more players at safety, with at least one of them being good enough to compete with Richardson for a starting job. It’s pretty likely the Panthers add another external free agent at the position before the NFL Draft. Outside linebacker: The Panthers brought in Jones to raise the oor of the depth chart on the edge. Jones, D.J. Wonnum and Jadeveon Clowney are currently the Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen (19) celebrates after scoring a touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the rst quarter at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fl. on Sunday Dec 29, 2024 Nathan Ray Seebeck Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images top three players on the depth chart. From there, the unit has D.J. Johnson and not much else. And one could argue that Johnson will need to have a very strong summer to stick around for a third year. The Panthers need to get better here, whether in free agency or the draft. Running back: Carolina cut veteran running back Miles Sanders on Tuesday. While Sanders was a disappointment during his two years in Charlotte, his release leaves the depth chart pretty light behind Chuba Hubbard. The Panthers only have Hubbard, Jonathon Brooks (coming o a second ACL surgery in as many oseasons) and Emani Bailey on the depth chart. There are plenty of options available in free agency at the running back position. Wide receiver: The Panthers like the trio of Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker, but they simply aren’t good enough to contend as a starting group. The Panthers need to raise the ceiling and the oor at the position, similar to the way they double dipped on defensive linemen on Monday. The options were somewhat limited in free agency at the position, but Carolina might have some hope coming in the draft or the trade market down the line. Tight end: While Tremble is back in the mix, the Panthers have him, Ja’Tavion Sanders and Jordan Matthews as players of note at the position. Matthews, by the way, hasn’t caught a regular-season pass in several years. So, the Panthers might want to look at the free-agent or trade markets to add depth before the draft. That said, the rookie class at tight end is considered to be major strength of the incoming NFL talent. Cornerback: Jackson and Jaycee Horn make up a strong pair of starters for the secondary. However, the nickel position is a bit of a mystery with second-year DB Chau Smith-Wade currently penciled into it. The rest of the group is lled with unknowns, and the Panthers could aord to bring in a proven commodity on a one-year deal to expand the experience in the room. Insurance, especially with Horn, is necessary Inside linebacker: There isn’t much to write home about behind starters Josey Jewell and Trevin Wallace. Claudin Cherelus, last year’s third inside linebacker for much of the season, is coming o toe surgery. Special teams ace Jon Rhattigan, while strong in his role, was rarely used on defense last year. Upgrades are necessary at this position, whether in the draft or in free agency. (Update: The Panthers agreed to terms with LB Christian Rozeboom on Wednesday.) Kicker: The team signed Matthew Wright to compete this summer. But with Eddy Piñeiro likely headed elsewhere, the Panthers need to push Wright with a talented specialist. Kick/punt returner

A former track athlete at Penn State, Chisena reportedly ran a 4.32-second 40 at his pro day. He also played three seasons of football for the Nittany Lions and had three receptions there. He used that speed on special teams here, including some work as a gunner in the final two weeks. https://www.panthers.com/news/panthers-agree-to-terms-with-wide-receiver-dan-chisena

Christian Rozeboom CARLinebacker#56 Panthers agreed to terms with LB Christian Rozeboom, formerly of the Rams, on a one-year contract. Rozeboom entered the league as a UDFA with the Cheifs but found a permanent home with the Rams in LA. He steadily earned more playing time, culminating in a breakout 2024 campaign. Rozeboom made 11 starts across 17 appearances and led the team with 135 combined tackles. He logged five TFLs, four pass breakups, and one interception. Rozeboom will compete for a starting role in Carolina during training camp.

Dirty Dan Chisena terrific on special teams
