Pro Football Focus: One 2026 free agent that every NFL team can’t afford to lose


Recommended Posts

Carolina Panthers: IOL Austin Corbett

The Panthers are on an upward trajectory after winning the NFC South in only Dave Canales’ second season. Another silver lining is that most of the team’s core should be back in 2026, with few significant free agents. At the same time, retaining Corbett could be shrewd.

Corbett produced a 65.4 PFF overall grade in 2025, playing 689 snaps between center, right guard and left guard. He particularly shined up the middle: In the six games in which he exclusively played center, Corbett commanded a 73.7 PFF overall grade with a 77.9 PFF run-blocking grade.

The Panthers possess a top-notch guard tandem in Damien Lewis and Robert Hunt, but the versatile Corbett is still depth that Carolina has consistently relied upon.

He is UFA? I would probably list him over Corbett.

 I was gonna say we don’t have one though. We can get along without all of them. Nijman gives us some contunuity.

I'm indifferent to it. I would rather they draft a guard over paying him a bunch of money to get his ass handed to him by better defenses.

Agree. Rather see a young guy get his tail handed to him than an old vet. At least there's hope with the youngster.

    • I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.
    • From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"
    • Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
