## Resource

The Carolina Panthers were reportedly in deep talks with two-time Pro Bowler Justin Simmons all season long, hoping to land him to anchor their defense — but money talks ultimately derailed the deal. Simmons, who admired Panthers’ defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero and even had a connection with coach Renaldo Hill, said he was genuinely interested in joining a Super Bowl contender after a tough year with the Falcons. Meanwhile, Nick Scott stepped up admirably as the starter, putting up solid numbers and returning for another year — leaving fans wondering what might have been if Simmons had signed.
