Did the Panthers overpay for Jaelan Phillips? Not if you consider the defense they want to run.
Former Bears safety Kevin Byard III tells me that he is signing with the New England Patriots, reuniting him with Mike Vrabel.
Byard’s seven interceptions led the NFL in 2025.
Stone Forysthe is depth for the #Panthers. He wasn’t good at all last year, but it’s funny so many are saying he’ll start. Likely getting the vet-min, which generally signifies a depth signing or a camp body. OT should still be a target in FA/draft. Doesn’t change anything.
The #Panthers officially announced today that they have re-signed LB/S Isaiah Simmons, WR David Moore, and EDGE Thomas Incoom.
Back with another piece from Fansided: Dan Morgan kicked off FA with the biggest deal of any free agent, signing their EDGE1, Jaelan Phillips.
Wrote about his potential impact, the gamble the #Panthers are taking, and what comes next: catcrave.com/carolina-pan...
The #Panthers have announced the release of iDL A’Shawn Robinson.
This saves the team $10.5 million in cap space.
From On SI: Jacksonville is now without their top defensive playmaker from last season, as Devin Lloyd signed with Carolina on Monday night.
Now the question becomes this: what’s next for the #Jaguars post-Lloyd?
My story on the loss of Lloyd: www.si.com/nfl/jaguars/...
From Fansided: Carolina finished their first day of free agency with a massive signing, locking up top free-agent LB Devin Lloyd to a three-year deal.
For the first time since Luke Kuechly, the #Panthers have a playmaker at linebacker.

The Jets let Alijah Vera-Tucker go to the Patriots.
The Jets now no longer have any of their 1st, 2nd or 3rd round picks from 2021 or earlier on their roster.
This is a FANTASTIC deal for Carolina. I thought Lloyd would touch $18M per year, getting him for the same price as Jamien Sherwood is awesome business
BANG
When his DAD is getting concerned about her, you know Pearce is messed up in the head. He doesn’t just need jail, he needs help.
Devin Bush to the #Bears is such a fun fit. Good ball player.
Vikings have agreed to terms with CB James Pierre on a two-year, $8.5 million deal with $3.7 million guaranteed, per his agent Toney Scott. Pierre gets a $2.5 million signing bonus.
Not seeing Mike Evans twice a year against Carolina is going to be weird.
Loved the tape when I watched it a couple of weeks ago.
Mays is a total Dan Campbell guy. Love that for him. $8M AAV.
Yeah, I don't think the #Panthers are done yet whatsoever. No sources on this, but just a gut feeling.
Jaelan Phillips looks like the big-ticket free agent signing for the #Panthers. It's a massive get for the franchise. There will be concerns about Phillips' injury history, but when healthy, he's a dynamic rusher who gives Carolina what they need at EDGE. Love this.
Jaelan Phillips to the #Panthers, per Schefty. $120M for 4 years, $80 million in guarantees.
Pelissero: CB Jaylen Watson signed a 3-year, $51M deal.
BANG
It's too quiet...
#Jaguars free agents now on the open market (updated):
WR Dyami Brown
RB Travis Etienne
LB Devin Lloyd
CB Greg Newsome
DE Emmanuel Ogbah
WR Tim Patrick
DL Dawuane Smoot
S Andrew Wingard
ERFA: Joshua Cephus
The Raiders and CB Eric Stokes have agreed to a 3-year, $30M deal, source said, keeping the former first-rounder in Las Vegas. He gets $20M guaranteed.
Stokes found his footing after leaving the Packers and now cashes in with a deal done by David Mulugheta of Athletes First.
Interesting.
LOVE Gardeck coming back. Should still target edge depth early imo.
Jags re-signing Buster Brown and Dennis Gardeck is good business. Doubt they break the bank going outside deals, but Brown was pretty good last season and Gardeck gives them formational versatility up front
Lordy. Good for the Colts!
What happens with Pittman?
Here we go, folks...FA has begun.
