19th in PPG, but I think if we can manage to do anything to upgrade our Defensive back field we could definitely be top 5

Yep, never been a fan of yards allowed.

Give me points per game.

No one talks about or gives a shyt how many yards per game the 85 Bears or 2001 Ravens Defenses gave up.

It's how few points they allowed.

We're 16th in Y/P.

We're a middle of the pack, inconsistent defense. But we're not top ten even if we are by yardage, which is misleading. At the very least I'd certainly take the 49ers, Seattle, Steelers, Broncos, Bengals, Chicago, Jets, Cardinals (criminally underrated defense - too bad their offense is trash), Rams, and Texans defense over ours. We've been about on par with Baltimore though as a defense, which is surprising. Baltimore's defense has just fallen off a cliff compared to what we're used to. Even when they had L. Webb and Ray Lewis, they were struggling. I remember Chiefs running at will on them.

      Some of the best F.A signings in Panthers history?

      By rodeo · Posted

      Our best ever FA signing was Wesley Walls, followed by Sam Mills, and Ken Lucas. I can't really even think of any other super impactful ones. I thought Keyshawn Johnson would be at the time, and he was alright, but nothing special. I think Lloyd could end up being in that upper tier with the first three I named but time will tell. He could be a long time leader on this defense. He's young and smart and is in the mold of the great Panthers LBs. I can't wait for the inevitable sit-down with Thomas Davis.

      Great News! Now, if we can find a QB, we will be in the race.

      Tony Pauline: 5 NFL Teams Whose Free Agency Moves Changed Their 2026 Draft Plans

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      On the whole, I thought the Panthers did the best job of any team during the first week of free agency and left with a much stronger roster. The team had two major needs on defense that people thought would be addressed early in the draft: pass rusher and off-ball linebacker. They promptly filled both by signing Jaelan Phillips to a massive four-year, $120 million contract and linebacker Devin Lloyd to a three-year, $45 million contract. Not only did the Panthers fill needs by signing the two players, but the vacancies left by Phillips in Philadelphia and Lloyd in Jacksonville are massive holes that those teams must address.  Carolina was not done, as they added offensive tackle Rasheed Walker, the four-year veteran who was previously with the Green Bay Packers, to a one-year deal. Considering the serious knee injury suffered by starting left tackle Ikem Ekwonu during the playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams, an injury that could threaten his 2026 season, it was money well spent on another free agent. Heading towards the draft, the Panthers now have the luxury of looking at other positions. If tight end Kenyon Sadiq happens to fall to the 19 selection of the first round, he has to be a consideration, and they could also target a top cornerback. https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-active-news-five-nfl-teams-whose-free-agency-moves-changed-their-twenty-twenty-six-draft-plans/
