Carolina Panthers DE Jadeveon Clowney told reporters at a press conference on Friday, March 29, that he has already spoke to free-agent CB Stephon Gilmore and will try to 'influence an agreement' between the Panthers and his former high school teammate in the coming days or weeks.

The Carolina Panthers agreed to an undisclosed deal to re-sign linebacker Tae Davis on Friday. Davis began last year with the Atlanta Falcons before joining the Panthers in November. The 27-year-old finished the season with just seven tackles (two solo) in 16 games played (zero starts). He was a key special teams contributor for the Panthers in eight games in 2023 and should reprise that role in 2024. Davis entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Chattanooga in 2018 with the New York Giants. In his five years in the league, he's recorded just 64 tackles (44 solo), two sacks, five QB hits and two passes defended in 61 games (five starts). Davis is clearly not on the IDP fantasy radar.

Free-agent edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney is signing a two-year, $24 million contract with the Carolina Panthers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 2014 No. 1 overall pick spent last season with the Baltimore Ravens, and it was one of the best campaigns of his career. He tied a career-high with 9.5 sacks and did not miss a game for the first time since 2017. The 31-year-old still has plenty of ability, but his surroundings in Carolina won't be as strong as they were with the Ravens. The South Carolina native is now closer to home, and he'll look to help the struggling franchise accelerate its rebuild in 2024.

The Carolina Panthers re-signed safety and special teams ace Sam Franklin on an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Franklin, a former undrafted free agent out of Temple, began his NFL career in 2020 with the Panthers and has spent all four of his NFL seasons with the organization. The 28-year-old defensive back had a career-high 30 tackles (20 solo) and an interception returned for a touchdown in 17 games (four starts) in his fourth year in Carolina in 2023. Franklin played 310 snaps on special teams and will likely continue in that role in his fifth year with the team in 2024. In his four NFL campaigns, Franklin has just 97 tackles (69 solo), one sack, the interception returned for a score, five passes defended and a force fumble in 64 games (nine starts).

The New York Jets and free-agent pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney have remained in constant contact after the two sides met, with one source describing the Jets as "highly motivated" to try and secure a deal with Clowney. In addition to the Jets, both the Carolina Panthers and Baltimore Ravens remain interested in Clowney as well after his 9.5-sack season in Baltimore in 2023. The 31-year-old former first overall pick by the Houston Texans in 2014 out of South Carolina is in high demand on the free-agent market after producing one of his best seasons as a professional last year. In addition to his 9.5 sacks, he had 43 tackles (24 solo), nine tackles for loss, 19 QB hits, five passes defended, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 17 regular-season games (15 starts). It proved that Clowney still has it in him, but the three-time Pro Bowler's injury history isn't going away.

The Carolina Panthers agreed to terms on an undisclosed deal on Friday with former Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals safety Nick Scott, according to a source. Scott was the Rams' seventh-round selection (243rd overall) in 2019 out of Penn State. The 28-year-old defensive back spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Rams before spending last season with the Bengals. In his five years in the league, Scott has racked up 214 tackles (136 solo), four interceptions, nine passes defended, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 81 games (27 starts). He had 57 tackles (35 solo) in 17 games played (10 starts) for Cincy last year. Scott will compete for a reserve role in Carolina's secondary in training camp this summer.

Free-agent edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney is visiting with the New York Jets on Wednesday, according to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team. The former No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft enjoyed one of the best seasons of his career with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023. He tied a career-high with nine sacks and was tied for fourth among all edge defenders in pass rush win rate (25%). Overall, Clowney has compiled 363 tackles, 52.5 sacks, 15 forced fumbles, one interception, and 76 run-stuffs in 126 games over ten seasons. The Jets already have one of the best defenses in the NFL, and the potential addition of Clowney would make it even more dangerous.

The Carolina Panthers are signing safety Jordan Fuller to a one-year deal worth up to $5.25 million, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. Fuller hit free agency after four years with the Los Angeles Rams. He racked up 279 tackles, four forced fumbles, seven interceptions, and 17 pass defended in 48 games for the organization. He's set to join a rebuilding secondary after the Panthers lost safeties Jeremy Chinn and Vonn Bell via free agency and traded cornerback Donte Jackson to the Pittsburgh Steelers in a deal for wide receiver Diontae Johnson.

Carolina Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson had his contract restructured, reducing his base pay in 2024 to $3.1 million with $1.7 million guaranteed to help clear around $3 million in salary cap space for this season. The former 25th overall pick by the Panthers in 2015 out of Washington played in only two games last year before suffering a season-ending fractured fibula against the New Orleans Saints. The 29-year-old had a run of four straight seasons with 100-plus combined tackles before getting hurt in 2023. Thompson also restructured his contract with the Panthers last offseason, which gave him an extra year with the team. He'll be entering his 10th season in Carolina and he's started in 108 of his 119 career games, totaling 717 combined tackles, 12 sacks, three interceptions and four forced fumbles over nine NFL seasons.

The Carolina Panthers recently restructured the contract of LB Shaq Thompson, with his base salary for the 2024 season being reduced to $3.1 million (with $1.7 million of guaranteed money). The move will free up approximately $3 million in salary cap space.

Updating previous reports, free-agent OG Robert Hunt (Dolphins), OG Damien Lewis (Seahawks), DT A'Shawn Robinson (Giants) and CB Dane Jackson (Bills) officially signed with the Carolina Panthers Friday, March 15. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed, but earlier reports stated Hunt signed a five-year, $100 million contract, Lewis signed a four-year, $53 million deal, Robinson signed a three-year $22.5 million deal and Jackson signed a two-year contract worth as much as $14.5 million.

Free-agent pass-rusher D.J. Wonnum plans to sign an undisclosed two-year deal with the Carolina Panthers, according to a source. Wonnum will head to the NFC South after producing a career-high-tying eight sacks, a career-high 62 tackles (33 solo), seven tackles for loss, 15 QB hits, six passes defensed and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown in 15 games (14 starts) in 2023 in his fourth year with the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings originally took him with their fourth-round selection in 2020 out of South Carolina. Wonnum had a career year last season despite missing the tail end of the campaign due to a quadriceps injury. While not on the IDP fantasy radar, the Panthers will be hoping Wonnum can help boost the team's pass-rushing force from the linebacker position after trading Brian Burns to the Giants.

Free-agent pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney is scheduled to make a visit with the Carolina Panthers. After what seemed like a slow beginning to the offseason is now heating up for the former first-round pick. The 31-year-old certainly did enough last season to earn himself a multiple year deal this offseason. Last season, Clowney finished with 43 tackles and 9.5 sacks in 17 games with the Baltimore Ravens. As expected, Clowney should have multiple suitors this offseason. The veteran pass rusher is reportedly scheduled to visit with the New York Jets after his meeting with the Panthers. This is assuming Clowney doesn't sign immediately following his visit with Carolina. On paper, Clowney would be better off signing with the more competitive roster in New York, but it all depends on what kind of deals these teams are willing to offer him.
