## Resource

The Panthers just pulled off a defensive upgrade by signing veteran linebacker Bobby Okereke, the Giants’ top tackler last season with 143 stops, six passes defended, and two interceptions — all for a modest $1.5M one-year deal. After struggling to find a reliable inside linebacker alongside Devin Lloyd during camp, GM Dan Morgan moved fast, and head coach Dave Canales is thrilled about the pairing, calling it a dynamic combo that can stop the run and cover in space. The move came with the release of Trevin Wallace — a tough call for a first-round pick — but one aimed at maximizing competition and depth. Okereke hit the field fully for the first time on Sept. 1, and with the Bears looming as their opener, Canales expects this new duo to be sharp, physical, and ready to handle Chicago’s trickery — all while chasing another NFC South crown.
