NFL rumors: Panthers linked to Eagles Super Bowl star in planned free agency splurge..
Panthers are seriously considering a Super Bowl champion defender this offseason…
The Carolina Panthers are preparing to make a huge splash on the defensive side of the football this offseason. One name that keeps popping up in conversations has been Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive tackle Milton Williams, a key run stopper and pass rusher who is coming off a memorable Super Bowl performance.

The Panthers hold $29.9 million in cap space, and are expected to be heavily active in pursuing defensive talent in the NFL Draft and free agency, according to ESPN’s Dan Graziano.
“Expect the Panthers to be seeking big-name players in free agency. I think Carolina could be in on the top safeties — Jevon Holland, Camryn Bynum, etc. — and might be one of the teams willing to spend big to lure defensive tackle Milton Williams away from the Super Bowl champion Eagles. The Panthers will also look to add edge rush help, with Chase Young being one of the intriguing options there.
Williams is seeking a big payday this offseason. The Eagles, who now have their sights set on potentially acquiring Myles Garrett in a trade, may not be willing to grant the former third-round pick what he wants. The Panthers are a great situation for Williams as they continue to build.
