Of course, the Panthers have been active in free agency for the last three years, filling a number of key areas, and after signing outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd this year, they enter the weekend without any glaring needs that have to be addressed.

“Philosophically, we have an open-minded mindset,” Morgan said. “We’re open to anything, whether it’s moving back, whether it’s moving up, if we feel like a guy can be an impact player for us, I do think all options are on the table. . . .
“It’s really no different in terms of the process. We’re gonna be ready for any and all scenarios that present themselves. You don’t know which guy is going to fall. A lot of things can happen unexpectedly, so we’ve just got to be ready for any and all scenarios, and that’s what we’ve been doing in the draft room every single day, is just planning for that, and getting ready.”
