With quarterback Bryce Young at the centre, the Carolina Panthers needed to radically revamp their offence going into the summer. Following its failure to sign any of the top wide receivers available in the NFL in free agency, Carolina is now focusing on a recently-arrived pass-catcher.
Despite not being able to acquire a top wide receiver in free agency, Carolina managed to pull a deal for Diontae Johnson this offseason with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Even though Johnson gives the Panthers receiving corps a major upgrade, there is still a great deal of work to be done.
Mike Williams, who was cut by the Los Angeles Chargers on Wednesday, was already set to visit Carolina. A top wide receiver who recently became available is being added by the Panthers to keep their options open, as Williams is also scheduled to visit with the New York Jets.
Next week, Michael Gallup, a former wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, will tour the Panthers’ facilities, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Like Williams, Gallup was released by his former team, therefore signing him would not go towards the NFL’s compensatory pick calculation.
The Carolina Panthers are looking to revamp their offense and have their sights set on recently released wide receiver Michael Gallup. After failing to secure top wide receivers in free agency, the Panthers are now turning their attention to Gallup, who is set to visit their facilities next week. This comes after the team already scheduled a visit with Mike Williams, who was released by the Los Angeles Chargers. Gallup, who was previously with the Dallas Cowboys, had a promising start to his career but saw a decline in performance following a knee injury. Despite this, the Panthers are considering signing him as a more cost-effective option compared to Williams. If signed, the Panthers will still look to draft a wide receiver with one of their second-round picks.
