DEFENSIVE LINE RANKING, WEEK 3: 17th
Star defensive interior Kawann Short is still getting the job done for the Panthers’ defense, as he leads the defense in overall grade (84.5), pass-rush grade (74.2) and total pressures (10). However, Short alone can’t carry Carolina’s defensive line atop this list, especially when edge defenders Bryan Cox Jr. (38.3) and Wes Horton (42.3) have turned in abysmal overall grades through Week 3.

I'm not surprised at all, honestly.

We gotta sign or draft a pass rusher in offseason

Im probably in the minority but it’s more of a need than safety.  

IF Reid works out and we extend him on a reasonable contract then Edge and Oline will be the only two directions in the 1st next year.

Deepest Dline draft in years, so I'm sure we'll get whoever falls to us

Yep. I was saying to not draft a DE because the 2019 class is chock full of 4-3 DEs. I hope we go DE in first and I wouldn’t mind using the two thirds to make a move up. I was hoping the Clemson guys would have come out this year. Ferrell the DE looks amazing. He might have lasted to our pick. He might go top 5 next year. 

They don't have him going Top 5. They do have Oliver & Bosa going Top 5 though.

      FA Splash: Panthers sign Jaelan Phillips EDGE

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      From NFL reporter Matt Lombardo: The Carolina Panthers, at the time of signing, committed the most money in NFL history to a free agent pass rusher, plucking Jaelan Phillips from the Philadelphia Eagles, on a deal that includes $80 million fully guaranteed. Now in Carolina, Phillips is the centerpiece of an ascending defense that produced just 30 sacks while backing into the NFC Playoffs. Only eight edge rushers produced more pressures than Phillips’ 73 last season, which included 57 hurries, according to Pro Football Focus, which makes it easy to see why a Panthers organization that is looking to take the next step would pay a major premium at a premium position. In a division as wide open as the NFC South, Phillips and Derrick Brown are as formidable a duo up front as there is, certainly good enough to power a playoff push.   https://bsky.app/profile/mattlombardo.bsky.social/post/3mgnnj2hojk27

      Panthers salary cap strategy/status

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      Per NFL reporter Matt Lombardo, a lot of deals were "made in a steakhouse over the last few weeks" The deals that drop at 12:01 are the ones that were never really in doubt. They’re the marriages that had been quietly arranged for weeks. Meanwhile, the genuinely contested signings, the ones where multiple teams are legitimately competing for the same player, those tend to resolve in the days between tampering and the official start of the new league year on Wednesday. That’s why you see the most coveted players “agreeing to terms” today, and by Wednesday both players and teams are shopping for ideal fits to fill needs and the best opportunities rather than making decisions built largely on securing a market-setting bag. https://bsky.app/profile/mattlombardo.bsky.social/post/3mgn4nawxmc2o
