The Carolina Panthers were just 27th in total offense last year, but there weren’t many significant changes on that side of the ball in the offseason. The skill position talent is essentially the same, although with Rico Dowdle gone Chuba Hubbard will reclaim his role as Carolina’s lead running back. The biggest change is in the center of the offensive line, where Luke Fortner was signed in free agency. Rookie first-rounder Monroe Freeling may push to start at tackle, but the Panthers have the talent at the position to be patient.<\/p>\n
Edge: Jaelan Phillips, Nic Scourton<\/p>\n
DT: Derrick Brown, Bobby Brown III<\/p>\n
LB: Devin Lloyd, Trevin Wallace<\/p>\n
CB: Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade<\/p>\n
S: Tre’von Moehrig (SS), Nick Scott (FS)<\/p>\n
The Panthers spent a fortune in free agency to upgrade the defense, handing huge contracts to edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips and inside linebacker Devin Lloyd. Outside of those big-ticket signings the Panthers will look a lot like last year’s squad defensively, although rookie Zakee Wheatley could work his way into the starting lineup at safety if he shines in camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WR:\u00a0Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker OT: Ikem Ekwonu (LT), Taylor Moton (RT) OG: Damien Lewis (LG), Robert…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":656030,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-656029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=656029"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656029\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/656030"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=656029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=656029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=656029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
