  1. TYLER LARSENC, WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM Washington Football Team signed C Tyler Larsen, formerly of the Panthers. Larsen, who is reuniting with ex-Panthers coach Ron Rivera in Washington, will feature on special teams while providing depth along the interior of the Football Team's line. Going on 30, he has not started a game on offense since 2018
  2. DAVID MOOREWR, SEATTLE SEAHAWKS Panthers signed WR David Moore, formerly of the Seahawks. Moore is not a 1-for-1 replacement for Curtis Samuel, but for now, he takes his place on the depth chart. A situational deep threat, Moore got usurped by all-world starter DK Metcalf in Seattle last season and his yards per catch plunged from the 17s to 11.9. That number probably won't go back up if Teddy Bridgewater remains the Panthers' starting quarterback, but the situation is fluid. It's also quite possible Moore eventually becomes the Panthers' No. 4 wideout following another addition. Although the Panthers had three fantasy viable wideouts in 2020, Moore is highly unlikely to be a 2021 consideration.
  3. LOSER: CAROLINA PANTHERS OFFENSIVE LINE The Panthers entered free agency with three offensive line positions up in the air following their decision to franchise tag right tackle Taylor Moton: left tackle and both guard spots. On the bright side, Carolina has seemingly identified that need. The team’s only two significant free agent additions thus far have been offensive linemen. But those players aren’t ones you should feel comfortable with being potential starters, and it hasn’t been for insignificant money. Carolina inked Pat Elflein to a three-year, $13.5 million deal with $6 million guaranteed and Cameron Erving to a two-year, $10 million deal with $8 million guaranteed. Those aren’t high-level starter contracts, but they do straddle the line between starter money and high-end backup money. Now, compare those contracts to these grading profiles. Since 2018, 151 offensive linemen have played at least 1,500 offensive snaps. Erving’s 44.4 PFF grade ranks dead last, and Elflein’s 50.6 PFF grade ranks fifth-worst among that group. The Panthers brought in two of the five lowest-graded offensive linemen in the league to see significant action — on competitive contracts, no less. Adding depth with multiple low- to mid-level signings rather than aggressively pursuing high-priced free agents isn’t a bad strategy to fill out an offensive line. It’s all about eliminating weaknesses that opposing defenses can exploit. However, a team still needs to ensure that the players it’s bringing in can provide average play up front. Elflein and Erving have failed to do that throughout their careers, and as things stand, both could be thrust into starter roles next season. That’s not an ideal situation for the Panthers’ quarterback in 2021 https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-early-2021-nfl-free-agency-winners-losers

  5. RASHAAN MELVINDB, CAROLINA PANTHERS Panthers signed CB Rashaan Melvin to a one-year contract. Melvin has bounced around the league since entering as an undrafted free agent in 2013. Last year, he opted out of the season for COVID-19 reasons and the Jaguars released him shortly after. The 31-year-old offers depth as a fringe starter. Carolina will be playing a lot of Cover 3 zone defense under DC Phil Snow. Expect plenty of three-safety looks, too.
