Dan Morgan entered his second offseason at the helm with a clear purpose for making his team better. The Carolina Panthers needed to urgently improve their historically bad defense, and they went big-game hunting when free agency began.
Much of the focus centered on the defensive trenches, and rightfully so. However, Morgan also made a $51 million gamble to bolster the secondary that went largely unnoticed in comparison.
The Panthers identified Tre'von Moehrig as a high-priority target. He was among the top safeties available, which typically means you have to pay a premium.
