In his first season as an NFL head coach, Dave Canales guided the Carolina Panthers from a dismal two-win campaign in 2023 to a more respectable five-win record in 2024. With the team now poised on the brink of a breakout season, they could emerge as a serious contender to add a game-changing star to their roster.
Carolina Panthers insider: Keep an eye on Milton Williams signing
The Carolina Panthers still have a lot of work to do on both sides of the ball, coming off a season with the 23rd-ranked scoring offense and the worst-ranked defense. With the eighth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, they have a solid opportunity to secure an impact player, but the team could make significant moves well before the draft arrives.
Panthers insider Joseph Person suggests that fans should watch for potential acquisitions like nose tackle D.J. Jones from Denver or even Eagles Super Bowl standout Milton Williams as possible targets.
“The Panthers won’t fill all their defensive needs in free agency. But keep an eye on names like Eagles, Eagles DT Milton Williams, Broncos NT D.J. Jones (who has ties to Carolina defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero) and some of the top free agent safeties. The idea is to get the depth chart to a place where GM Dan Morgan can go best player available in the draft.”
After focusing on strengthening the offensive line last offseason, the Panthers now seem poised to improve a defense that was historically poor, setting a record for most points allowed in NFL history. However, it’s still unclear whether Milton Williams will opt for a big payday in Carolina or choose to join a more established contender.
