PETERS BANGGGGGGG LETS GO
I don’t know enough about him, but a lot of people in r/nfl are saying he’s very underrated. And panthers fans seem to be sad, so that’s a good sign I guess.
In the last 2 years he’s combine for 236 tackles 12.5 sacks and 29 TFL
Holy shit, there are smart people running the show now.
Huge W. This guy is a great tackler and always finds his way to the football.
We are cooking today. Fortifying some major holes.
I’ve read and watched a lot of stuff about this guy. Absolute fucking deal we just got. He’d be worth a good bit more if he wasn’t on the worst team in the nfl last year.
What a pickup
Big fan of this one
Has the 6th highest grade among all LBs since 2021 per PFF
Praise God! Ron Rivera would’ve signed someone from the CFL.
Undrafted guy who made Jets rosters based on his special teams play and developed into a solid starting LB with versatility for Carolina. His stats are impressive, and I’d say he’s better than Holcomb was for us
As a panthers fan, he is really good
he’s really good and i love that they are building this team up the middle so far today
my favorite signing so far. dudes a beast
Make Jamin more of a edge guy?
Peters making moves. We might be better than expected next season.
35 – LB FRANKIE LUVU, CAROLINA PANTHERS Luvu burst onto the scene in 2021 and has continued to be one of the best pass-rushing off-ball linebackers in the NFL, with his 43 pressures since 2022 ranking fourth at the position and his 9.5 sacks ranking first.
Luvu has also amassed 62 defensive stops against the run since 2022, which ranks 12th among linebackers over the span. Luvu has limitations in coverage but is a menace coming forward and rushing the passer or shooting through gaps to rack up tackles for loss.
Elite signing
I absolutely love this pick up!
It took Adam Peters one day of free agency and one signing to address the LB position better than Ron did in his entire tenure.
Ex Panther
Where’s Ron hiding. 🤣
COMMANDTHERS!!!!!
Kind of reminds me of London Fletcher in that he’s a tackling machine who is underrated.
I would have rather lost Burns. Take care of Frankie.
Panthers fan chiming in here, you will love Luvu. Guy plays with so much energy and passion. He can rush the passer with his hand in the dirt, play off ball Mike, is great against the run, and if you play him on special teams, he’ll instantly become one of the best in that role.
Aside from Derrick Brown, he was the best Panthers defender last year. He’s a tackle machine, and always seems to find ways to make a play. Dan Morgan specifically mentioned he wanted dogs on the team, well the Panthers just lost their best one.
It may sound like I’m exaggerating, but losing Luvu really stings. In a horrendous 2023, Luvu was one of the lone bright spots. He’s a great player, better leader, and the contract he got is tremendous value.

Don’t know a thing about him but some folks over at the Panthers sub were saying he was their best player on defense.

He plays with his hair on fire. He’s always around the ball…he was the heart and soul of that defense. He’s going to be hard to replace.”
They’re cooking something good alright
PFF has him at the #35 top free agent
