TOP FREE AGENT TARGETS FOR THE CAROLINA PANTHERS IN 2026!
The 2025 season was just the beginning. After an incredible playoff run and the emergence of Bryce Young as a franchise cornerstone, the Carolina Panthers are officially in their “all-in” window. But if Dan Morgan and Dave Canales want to turn this team into a true Super Bowl contender, they have to hit big in 2026 Free Agency.
In today’s video, we are breaking down the three massive holes on the Panthers’ roster and the elite free agents we need to target to fill them. From veteran edge rushers to elite offensive weapons, we’re looking at the stars that can elevate this team to the next level.
What we’re covering:
The Pass Rush Problem: Why Trey Hendrickson is the missing piece for Ejiro Evero’s defense.
The Defense’s Spine: Finding a veteran linebacker to solidify the middle.
Elite Weapons for Bryce: Can we land a game-changer like George Pickens or Kyle Pitts?
Cap Space Reality: How Brandt Tilis and Dan Morgan can maneuver the $29M+ in effective cap space.
The window is open, Panthers fans. Let’s talk about how we close it with a trophy.

100% agree, they are the 3 spots we have to target most
3 Free Agent Players from the Eagles I would Target
TE Dallas Goedart, Edge Jalen Phillips, ILB Nakobe Dean
There’s also Center Linderbaum from the Ravens, ILB Devin Lloyd from the Jaguars
Trey is 4-3 de not 3-4 it will not work at all
You can talk about TE all you want Pete Carroll hardly used them in Seattle and Dave is like Pete so we are better off looking for Another wide receiver.
No to Crosby and Hendrickson. We cant afford to get old guys like that.
i think dean from the eagles would be a game changer because he’s a linebacker for one and on the blitz he just runs through blocks but idk if they will be willing to let him go
edit: also we wouldn’t be the only team with eyes on him if the eagles decide to not re-sign him
How about Caleb Downs S from Ohio
Who is gonna throw the ball to the speedy receiver?We got jimmy horn and nobody can do the ball to him
How about we try to trust that jimmy Horn can be that guy. It's crazy how nobody see him as a wr that can take the top off. He was running away from defenders all season. We just don't get him the ball or really utilize him. On the plays he was open byrce missed him. Get him more involved simple
we need a LB more than anything else, but why is nobody talking about this Tackle situation?
