On Tuesday, rookies will report to training camp for the Carolina Panthers, followed by veterans one day later. Usually this time of the year is quiet, as teams stand pat and wait to see what their roster looks like at camp before making any other moves.
But if the Panthers were to make one more move before summer workouts, what should it be?
According to an analysis by Josh Edwards at CBS Sports, the biggest remaining need for Carolina's roster going into training camp is their secondary. Edwards writes:
While it's true that you can never have too much depth at cornerback in the modern NFL, we're not buying this—least of all the shot directed at Jackson. Jackson, who has proved to be a solid defender since his Seattle days, is fresh off a league-leading 19 passes defensed and a stellar performance in Carolina's wild-card round appearance against the Los Angeles Rams.
Jackson and Jaycee Horn make one one of the league's best starting boundary tandems—and in Corey Thornton and Chau Smith-Wade the Panthers have multiple promising options in the slot.
The need in the secondary, rather, is at safety—where Carolina could use an upgrade next to Tre'von Moehrig. Veteran Nick Scott is slated to remain the second starter, with 2025 fourth-round pick Lathan Ransom and 2026 fifth-round pick Zakee Wheatley as depth.
