Panthers Land Top NFL Free Agent Linebacker

The Carolina Panthers secured a top NFL free agency move by signing linebacker Devin Lloyd to a three-year deal. Lloyd, a Utah alumnus, had an exceptional 2025 season with elite grades in coverage, run defense, and pass rush. His addition addresses the Panthers struggles at linebacker, where no player reached a 55 overall grade last year. The deal, valued at $15 million per year, is considered a team-friendly steal, setting the stage for a defensive turnaround in the upcoming season.
