## Resource

The Panthers just dropped a jaw-dropping $120 million on Jaelan Phillips — a move that’s sparking firestorm debates. Worth it? Maybe — if his pressure rates and fit for Carolina’s defense pay off. Critics call him overpaid, citing injury history and lack of sacks, but the Panthers see a game-changing edge rusher. It’s a high-risk, high-reward gamble, echoing the Eagles’ bold move last year — and they’re betting he’ll silence doubters on the field.
