## Resource

The Panthers’ defense surged last season, but their pass rush remains a glaring weakness—tying for third-fewest sacks and ranking near the bottom in pressure rate. To fix it, they drafted edge rushers Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen and signed high-profile free agents Jaelan Phillips and Devin Lloyd. Phillips, a high-priced gamble after injury-riddled stints with the Dolphins and Eagles, now carries a nearly $40 million tag. Without elite-level play, his contract could become one of the worst in football. The Panthers’ future hinges on him delivering Pro Bowl-caliber performance.
