After striking out on former Philadelphia Eagles DT Milton Williams, the Carolina Panthers pivoted and wound up using the money they would have had to spend on Williams on several defensive upgrades. The biggest one was signing former Las Vegas Raiders safety Tre’Von Moehrig, who’s coming off a major break-through type of season. Moehrig appeared in all 17 games for the Raiders, posting two interceptions, 10 pass breakups and a career-high 104 combined tackles. All that good work he put on tape wound up landing him a three-year, $51 million contract with the Panthers, which amounted to their highest dollar amount for any outside free agent this year.
