Panthers waste no time making a flurry of signings after abrupt playoff exit

The Carolina Panthers may have been reeling from their heartbreaking playoff exit at home to the Los Angeles Rams. But for general manager Dan Morgan, the defeat signaled a turning of the page to plans for the 2026 campaign.

Morgan isn't a man who sits on his hands. He's a more strategic roster builder than some of his predecessors, but the former linebacker strikes with conviction when opportunities arise. And his third offseason kicked off with a flurry of signings to fill out the roster.

Once teams either finish their regular-season engagements or are eliminated from the playoffs, they typically sign players to reserve/futures contracts.
