Carolina Panthers Draft: Undrafted free agent live tracker
Now that the 2020 NFL Draft is officially in the books, stay up-to-date on all the undrafted free agents the Carolina Panthers sign.
Defense, defense, and more defense. The Carolina Panthers made defense their focal point in the 2020 NFL Draft as on paper, it’s going to be better than it has been in years. Through this year’s draft, they instantly improved their defensive line and secondary. It’s going to be faster, stronger, and hopefully, if everything falls into place, much more effective.
As the Carolina Panthers do their best to rebuild now for a brighter future, this is undoubtedly a step in the right direction. It’s no secret that defense wins football games and without a commitment to bolster this part of the team, the Panthers would have been on the outside looking in.
Now, in a very competitive NFC South, things should get very interesting over the next few years. The Panthers will likely not be contenders right off the bat this upcoming season but are on their way to fielding a competitive team as early as 2021 and 2022. Of course, that all depends on the development of these newly drafted players but with a new leadership regime in town, it’ll be a great culture to be a part of.

And Montana Western LB Jason Ferris - h/T @Justin_Pollard on that one. That’s a solid group.

Per Temple LB Sam Franklin Jr.’s Instagram story, he has signed with the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent. He is reunited with former head coach Matt Rhule in Carolina. Great pickup for the Panthers as they continue to build their defense. #OwlsInTheNFL #NFLDraft

Cool UFA signing for Carolina: Virginia ILB Jordan Mack to the Panthers, per his agent @NFLAgentAdam. Mack is 6-3, 241 and was the winner of the ACC's Jim Tatum award and a finalist for the William B Campbell trophy (nicknamed football's "academic Heisman").

This is my chance to talk about a Badger/Panther, so you better believe I’m gonna take advantage...

Chris Orr (@Chris_Guwap) had 11.5 sacks last year. As a MLB!! That doesn’t happen by accident. He can make plays. Happy to see he’s getting a shot in Carolina.
Auburn ➡️ Charlotte

Branden Bowen just told me he’s agreed to a free-agent contract with Carolina. That’s the path Andre Norwell took with the Panthers. Worked out very well.

TE Cam Sutton Fresno state has signed with the Panthers

Surprisingly, LSU tight end Thaddeus Moss wasn't drafted. He has deep Charlotte and deep OC Joe Brady roots. I'd like to see Panthers take a chance on him as a UDFA. Here's the story I wrote about Thaddeus -- and his famous dad -- in January: https://t.co/cKG0Hilxsh

Expecting a big fat wave of UDFAs for the Panthers, who still have quite a few spaces on the roster to go before they hit 90.
