Carolina Panthers Secure Key Defensive Additions Amid Roster Overhaul

The Carolina Panthers are actively working to improve their defense following a historically poor 2024 season, with GM Dan Morgan making strategic additions such as cornerback MJ Devonshire, who has promising physical traits including longer arm length than some of the team's key receivers. Alongside these moves, the Panthers are focusing on bolstering their roster with free-agent signings like Patrick Peterson, Trevon Moehrig, and Justin Simmons to strengthen the secondary and increase defensive competitiveness. Offensively, there is optimism around Bryce Young's development and his connection with rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, both highlighted among the NFL's 100 most important players for the upcoming season. Despite improvements, Carolina still faces challenges in defense, particularly in the cornerback room where depth and performance remain concerns. Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos are advised to balance their youthful roster by signing veteran free agents such as Keenan Allen, CJ Mosley, and Mark Glowinski to provide experience and stability. In the NHL, the Tampa Bay Lightning face decisions amid postseason disappointments, including potential trades and free-agent moves to rebound from repeated early playoff exits and the dominance of the Florida Panthers in their division.
