The Carolina Panthers have been active in the free agency market, securing deals with two key defensive players. Veteran cornerback Troy Hill, who played well last year especially at nickel, has re-signed with the Panthers on a one-year deal, a move that has been widely reported by multiple sources. Hill's re-signing, under the guidance of his former coach Ejiro Evero in L.A., is seen as a strategic move to bolster the team's defense, acknowledging that the team still needs at least one outside cornerback. Additionally, the Panthers have added former Jacksonville Jaguars edge rusher K’Lavon Chaisson on a one-year deal worth up to $5 million. Chaisson, a former first-round draft pick, is expected to bring a much-needed pass-rushing prowess to the Panthers' lineup. The team also tendered running back/kick returner Raheem Blackshear, who was an exclusive rights free agent.
