The Carolina Panthers made two monumental splashes over the early stages of free agency. Spending big on edge rusher Jaelan Phillips and second-team All-Pro linebacker Devin Lloyd represented the biggest statement of intent imaginable from general manager Dan Morgan, who believes this squad is ready to win right now.
And according to one NFL insider, the Panthers may not be done on defense just yet.
Phillips was reportedly regarded as the best overall prospect, regardless of position, by the Panthers in this class. Lloyd was the consensus best linebacker on the market, so for Carolina to get both represents a coup of epic proportions.
