The Carolina Panthers are entering the 2026 offseason with heightened expectations after reaching the playoffs for the first time in eight years. That means general manager Dan Morgan could be more aggressive than he has been in his role.
There is a litany of needs on the Panthers roster this offseason, going from edge rusher to linebacker, offensive line to tight end, and dynamic offensive playmakers to game-changing defensive backs. It feels like a lot, but as free agency unfolds over the next month and a half, the NFL Draft will provide a much clearer picture of who Carolina could select in April.
