he's a fatty

Agreed. If Nick is starting again next season, something probably went wrong. I think we're guaranteed to draft a safety in the upcoming draft

Nick was very solid last season (111 tackles, 3 passes defensed, PFF grade: 67.8). As long as he’s not relied on as a starter next year, he’d be a strong option as a third or fourth safety and provide good depth in the secondary

Panthers are re-signing returning starting S Nick Scott on a 1-year deal worth up to $3.25 million, per agents Jeremy Appledorf (@J_App10) and Ed Wasielewski (@ed_waz) of EMG Sports. Scott was 2nd on Panthers last yr w/ career-high 111 tackles and is a leader on Ejiro Evero’s D. https://x.com/josephperson/status/2032962575495819307?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

Nick Scott CARFree Safety#21 Panthers re-signed S Nick Scott to a one-year, $3.25 million contract.

We can still restructure Jaycee's contract and/or extend Damien Lewis if the front office chooses to do so

Really enjoy your analysis

He's terrific

Good signing by the Panthers to take advantage of the market dropping out on Packers LT Rasheed Walker. Gives them a very high-end insurance policy for Ickey Ekwonu, who's not a sure thing to be back for Week 1, as he rehabs a torn patellar tendon. https://x.com/albertbreer/status/2032574477658149033?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

IMO the @Panthers have had one of the best first weeks of FA. https://x.com/tonypauline/status/2032561225024844183?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

Panthers sign OT Rasheed Walker Terms: One year, up to $10 million Grade: A The price of this deal might be the most shocking of free agency thus far. Walker was widely considered the best free agent tackle this year and was expected to receive a large contract. But his market developed very slowly, so he has signed a one-year deal with a maximum value of $10 million -- meaning the base value is below that -- per NFL Network. For context, my free agency contract model projected a deal averaging $21.8 million for Walker. Instead, it's a short-term commitment for less than half that. And the Panthers are the beneficiaries. Carolina entered this offseason with a possible need at left tackle after Ikem Ekwonu suffered a patellar tendon rupture in the playoffs that put his 2026 season in question. It's also the last year of his contract. The Panthers signed Stone Forsythe as an insurance plan already in free agency, but once Walker's market fell it seemed like they felt adding him was well worth it, too. Our win rate metrics consider Walker to be a solid player. Last season in Green Bay, he was in the 85th percentile among tackles in pass block win rate, though only 22nd percentile in run block win rate. He was in the 69th percentile and 48th percentile in those two metrics in 2024, respectively. Given that Dan Moore Jr. received $20.5 million per year from the Titans last year most -- myself included -- thought Walker would walk away with more than that. Perhaps the struggles of Moore (who wasn't great last season) contributed to Walker's market being cooler than expected, a theory that ESPN's Jeremy Fowler suggested. Walker was also arrested two months ago at LaGuardia Airport in New York for allegedly trying to check-in with a firearm that he had a license for in Wisconsin but not New York. Either way, teams felt differently about Walker than most on the outside thought. But he's a heck of an add for the Panthers at this price. While his run-game contributions might be far from perfect, a weak pass protector at tackle can sink a passing game. Even if this is only a one-year arrangement, Walker should be able to help keep Bryce Young upright
