Panthers Sign Six of Seven Draft Picks Ahead of Minicamp

The Carolina Panthers signed six of their seven 2026 draft picks to four-year contracts (Monroe Freeling, Chris Brazzell II, Will Lee III, Sam Hecht, Zakee Wheatley, Jackson Kuwatch); second-round defensive tackle Lee Hunter remains unsigned. Freeling has a fifth-year option after Year 3. The team plans to sign 10 undrafted rookies and waived Jacoby Windmon to clear roster space, while also receiving an international roster exemption for Mapalo Mwansa to maintain a 91-man offseason roster.

Panthers scouts spotlight 2026 draft class: five key takeaways

Carolina wrapped its 2026 NFL draft with seven picks, and four regional scouts shared five takeaways: Lee Hunter’s imposing 6-3, 318-pound frame on the defensive line; Chris Brazzell II’s mix of size, speed, and advanced route running; Monroe Freeling’s high ceiling and evident love for the game; Sam Hecht’s movement skills, hand technique, and football IQ at center; and Zakee Wheatley’s versatility and elite ball skills. The takeaways highlight both on-field upside and the Panthers’ focus on building a strong, high-character locker room.

Eagles bolster QB room with veteran Andy Dalton trade

The Philadelphia Eagles traded a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Carolina Panthers for veteran quarterback Andy Dalton. Dalton won't threaten Jalen Hurts’ job but adds experienced depth and a different perspective to Philly’s QB room, potentially giving the team flexibility on QB2 Tanner McKee. At roughly $4 million for 2026, his contract is more than typical QB3 money, but his long NFL resume could help install a new system and stabilize the depth chart.

Eagles add veteran QB Dalton in seventh-round swap with Panthers

The Philadelphia Eagles acquired veteran quarterback Andy Dalton from the Carolina Panthers for a seventh‑round pick, adding experienced depth behind Jalen Hurts as new OC Sean Mannion implements a more traditional passing attack. Dalton, 38, backed up Bryce Young in Carolina and started five games in 2024 (one in 2025), while Tanner McKee remains on the roster amid ongoing trade interest and the Panthers’ signing of Kenny Pickett as a backup this offseason.

Rasheed Walker’s Free-Agent Fallout Highlights a Sluggish Left-Tackle Market

Rasheed Walker’s Free-Agent Fallout Highlights a Sluggish Left-Tackle Market

Rasheed Walker, the Panthers’ left tackle, failed to land the big free-agent deal analysts expected as the NFL’s left-tackle market cooled this cycle. Projections had him around four years, $82 million, but the actual deal came in at about $10 million APY—roughly 12% of Dan Moore Jr.’s total package and 49% of Moore’s APY—marking the biggest surprise of the free-agency period. The outcome also affects Green Bay’s compensatory-pick outlook: Moore’s deal would have nudged Walker toward a third-round pick, whereas Walker’s deal leaves Green Bay with a sixth-round (potentially fifth with playing time) outcome.

Panthers add Rasheed Walker to shore up left tackle after Ekwonu injury

The Panthers signed offensive tackle Rasheed Walker to a one-year deal to bolster left tackle depth while Ikem Ekwonu recovers from a torn patellar tendon; Walker, 26, is a former Packers' seventh-round pick who started at least 15 games in each of the last three seasons, and he played 94% of Green Bay's offensive snaps in 2025, earning a spot on PFT's top 100 free agents of 2026.

Early 2026 Free Agency Reshapes the Contenders

The 2026 league year kicks off with a clear early impact: the New England Patriots vault to the front with Romeo Doubs, Alijah Vera-Tucker, Kevin Byard and Dre’Mont Jones, while the Baltimore Ravens upgrade their edge with Trey Hendrickson and retain draft capital. The Carolina Panthers strengthen defensively and add quarterback depth with Kenny Pickett behind Bryce Young, and the Tennessee Titans spend big to bolster both lines and secondary. On the downside, the Buffalo Bills overpay for DJ Moore, the Kansas City Chiefs face defensive turnover after cornerback losses, the Indianapolis Colts overextend to keep Daniel Jones and Alec Pierce, and the Las Vegas Raiders’ hefty free-agent spending plus lost expected draft picks could hinder their long-term rosters.
