Panthers Training Camp: ESPN insider says another secondary move could be made

Stating the obvious. When you allow the second-most total yards in a season in NFL history, and your team surrenders the most points in a season in league annals, there are obviously going to be wholesale changes involving your defensive unit. Such was the task for Carolina Panthers’ general manager Dan Morgan this year, and he wasted little time this offseason.

There are newcomers on the defensive front (Bobby Brown III, Tershawn Wharton, and Cam Jackson), linebacker (Christian Rozeboom), and edge rusher (Patrick Jones II, Nic Scourton, and Princely Umanmielen). Defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero has plenty of new toys to play with. Still, ESPN’s David Newton had this observation when it came to the team’s key position battles to watch during training camp. One of those areas was safety.

Panthers could add another veteran to their secondary

“Free agent signee Tre’von Moehrig owns one spot after a strong 2024 season for the Las Vegas Raiders,” said Newton. “The other will come down to fourth-round pick Lathan Ransom (Ohio State), 2024 undrafted free agent Demani Richardson or Nick Scott, known more for his special teams ability. Don't rule out another player being brought in here.”
