Two signings made by the Carolina Panthers have been named among the worst so far during the first week of 2021 free agency.
Overall it has been a good start to free agency for the Carolina Panthers. General manager Scott Fitterer has managed to negotiate some shrewd pickups that could make an instant impression in 2021. But much more will be needed in terms of recruitment if the organization wants to enter the ever-competitive playoff picture next time around.
The Panthers have primarily focused their attention on strengthening things from a defensive standpoint, which now sees them with a unit loaded with talent that might only be a solid cornerback away from being one of the league’s best.
