From the comings and goings at outside linebacker to free agency signings, the Panthers made a series of moves that have set up a different outlook for the draft. Here's a look at the defensive needs.

The Panthers invested heavily in the offensive line this offseason, because they needed to. But several other spots are priorities heading into this week's draft. Here's a look at the offensive needs.

Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown reflects on his changing teammates, consistent coaching staff and splurging after his contract extension.

After agreeing to a long-term contract extension last week, the veteran defensive lineman was ready to start the offseason program on Monday.

Keeping the 2020 first-round pick was a reward for his exceptional play on the field, and a sign that they're serious about keeping their best drafted players as they move forward.

He was headed into the final year of his rookie deal, and sends a message that the Panthers want to keep their own drafted stars.

After years of going against older competition and learning harsh lessons about reality, Dane Jackson felt wanted in Charlotte, and that makes all the difference. 

The veteran pass-rusher dreamed of this growing up in Rock Hill, S.C., but he admitted he wasn't sure he was prepared to come home earlier in his career.

The veteran linebacker adds some depth on special teams, after impressing in that area in a half-season here last year.

Bringing in the accomplished pass-rusher was part of a busy offseason on defense, but their goal is for the defense to not have to carry as much of the load this season.

The veteran pass-rusher adds to a young group, and gives the Panthers a proven commodity at a position of need.

The veteran safety and special teams player is back, after leading the team in special teams tackles the last two seasons.
