The Carolina Panthers are in dire need of defensive reinforcements following a record-breaking poor performance last season, where they allowed the most points in NFL history and struggled against the run. With less than $25 million in cap space, the Panthers are unable to pursue high-profile free agents, prompting them to focus on the upcoming draft and explore creative trade options. One potential target is Demario Davis of the New Orleans Saints. With the possible departure of Shaq Thompson and underwhelming contributions from current linebackers, acquiring Davis could significantly improve the linebacker corps, which was among the league's weakest last year. Davis's cap hit is substantial, but securing him would enhance the defense alongside Josey Jewell and rookie Trevin Wallace.
