The Carolina Panthers have been eliminated from the playoffs. Besides rooting against the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos, there is not much for Panthers fans to pay attention to between now and next season. Besides from little things like the 2026 NFL Draft and Free Agency, I suppose.
With more holes once again than cap dollars and draft picks to spend, the Panthers will need to be strategic in which available players they target to build their roster for next season. That brings us to our
first Reacts survey of the offseason.
This week we’re asking what position group should be the Panthers top priority this offseason when looking for upgrades. And before you ask, I intentionally left safety/defensive back off the list because they are relatively set at cornerback and have shown little interest in prioritizing safety in the past. I expect most FA dollars and higher draft picks to be spent across the positions listed below.
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Panthers fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
