March 10, 12:00 PM: Cameron Wolfe: Panthers looking for slot corner
Cameron Wolfe went on NFL Network to discuss the Carolina Panthers’ free agency signings to this point.
In doing so, he mentioned that the Carolina Panthers “are still looking for a slot corner.”
There aren’t many slot corners left on the market after the Amik Robertson and Alontae Taylor signings - but one name that the Panthers might find interesting is Roger McCreary.
McCreary was a slot corner who was traded mid-season to the Los Angeles Rams for a late-round pick swap. He was hurt shortly after the trade, but would be worth a flyer on a deal up to $5-6M annually. McCreary would be an upgrade over former sixth-round pick Chau Smith-Wade.

March 8th: Jeremy Fowler reports that the Panthers are in the market for Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd and Chargers EDGE Odafe Oweh:
“Carolina is lurking in several markets, likely seeking pass-rush and linebacker help. Players such as edge rusher Odafe Oweh and linebacker Devin Lloyd are considered good fits for the Panthers' defensive scheme.”
Takeaway: There’s been a lot of smoke around Devin Lloyd’s name in Charlotte media. We wouldn’t be surprised if this is a deal that happens relatively quickly when the tampering period opens.
