4 free agents the Carolina Panthers should target post-draft

Kenny Vaccaro – S

• 2020 team – Tennessee Titans

A stated previously, it might be worth the Carolina Panthers putting some feelers out there on the free-agent market for an experienced safety could could provide better assurance alongside Jeremy Chinn on the backend. Perhaps Juston Burris can make a better go of things with a more dynamic playmaker alongside him, but if it doesn’t pan out then the pass-happy world of the NFL might be able to take advantage.

Someone like Kenny Vaccaro would be an instant upgrade on Burris and might be available on the cheap at this stage of free agency. The safety was part of the Tennessee Titans in 2020 on their way to another postseason berth and he also has experience of the NFC South having played five seasons with the New Orleans Saints.

The Titans cut Vaccaro to save themselves some salary-cap space this offseason and now that the draft has concluded, it should see players like him scooped up as teams try and fill holes they couldn’t manage to strengthen over the three days.

Carolina would look far better with Vaccaro on the depth chart. He is 30-years-old now which doesn’t seem to fit in with the youth movement currently transpiring within the organization. But a signing like this could be the difference between a losing record and making a surprise playoff appearance.
