DE Josh Sweat Sweat, 27, is coming o an eight-sack season in his seventh year with the Eagles. Philadelphia has several notable players to re-sign (including All-Pro linebacker Zach Baun), and Sweat might hit the free-agent market solely due to a lack of cap resources. During his career, Sweat has produced 43 sacks, with the entirety being collected after his forgettable rookie campaign. Sweat was selected to the 2021 Pro Bowl and followed up that honor with an 11-sack season in 2022. The Panthers could use Sweat as a full-time starter opposite D.J. Wonnum and Jadeveon Clowney on the edge. The Chesapeake, Virginia, native grew up a big Clowney fan, and with his hometown not too far away, perhaps he’d be enticed to join a Panthers team that badly needs pass rusher help DT Milton Williams The Panthers badly need help in their front seven, and Williams can play nearly every position in that grouping. Williams, a versatile interior pass rusher, has established himself as a key contributor for the top defense left in the playos. The 2021 third-round pick is used in a powerful rotation that also features Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jalen Carter and Charlotte native Jordan Davis.
