Panthers' Morgan Scoops 18 New Players

0:00It's April 28th. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI, your gridiron update. I'm Corey with the story. Panthers GM, Dan Morgan, ain't slowing down after the 2026 NFL draft. He grabbed seven picks over the weekend, then scooped up 11 undrafted free agents in the next 48 hours. That pushes their offseason roster to 93 players, 2 over the cap, but the international pathway spot for Maz Mawanza lets him slide with 91 active. Word is Morgan locked in former Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King as the big splash, dropping $250,000 guaranteed right after the draft wrapped in Pittsburgh. He kept stacking, inking deals with Vanderbilt's offensive lineman Isaiah Glass, Wisconsin's defensive tackle, Parker Peterson, and Mississippi States. Fans and analysts buzzing, because the Panthers got a track record turning undrafted gyms into starters. Third year receiver, Jalen Koker blew up last season as their number two target.

Morgan expects at least a couple of these new 11 to crack the line of next year. Iron Corners from Texas and Notre Dame, receivers from Coastal, Carolina and Baylor, plus more trench guys. He's scouring the landscape hard. Keep an eye on rookie minicamp, May 8th or 10th, but Morgan drops a few more moves to sharpen this squad before summer hits.
