The Carolina Panthers are wasting no time in free agency after their surprise NFC South Division win last season. They know they need upgrades to hang with rivals like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints, and Atlanta Falcons. Right on the first day of the negotiating window, they locked in two major defensive signings totaling $165 million. First thing Monday, they agreed to a four-year, $120 million deal with Edge-Resher Jalen Phillips from the Philadelphia Eagles. Phillips brings serious past-rest juice after starting the year with the Miami Dolphins and then getting traded to Philly.
