Panthers' roster taking shape, but it still has holes at S, TE and backup QB

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers so far have filled needs at defensive end, cornerback and wide receiver through free agency and a trade.

They’re still in the market for a tight end to play opposite Pro Bowler Greg Olsen. The Seattle Seahawks' Luke Wilson reportedly was headed to Charlotte on Wednesday night for a visit, so the answer could be there. A starting free safety is the most gaping hole in addition to a backup for quarterback Cam Newton.

Here’s a look at what the Panthers have done so far:

• Re-signed DE Julius Peppers -- 1 year, $5 million, $2.
