Signing experienced All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman would legitimize the Carolina Panthers from a defensive standpoint in 2021.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the Carolina Panthers need some additional reinforcements at cornerback. General manager Scott Fitterer has done a nice job of picking up some impressive defensive players capable of improving a unit that is now loaded with prolific talent. But the obvious need to acquire someone who can slot opposite Donte Jackson in a starting role is glaring.
