Last week we asked Panthers fans what, if anything, they’d like to see the Carolina Panthers do to upgrade their shallow secondary. There was one clear favorite amongst the three bigger name options available via either free agency or trade.

77% of Panthers fans would rather the team pursue an upgrade via signing a veteran free agent over trading for an aging, former star. Former Indianapolis Colts safety Julian Blackmon, PFF’s 23rd best coverage safety in 2024, is the clear choice for most fans. The Panthers visited with Blackmon in March, but did not sign him then and he remains unsigned at this time.
