Panthers
The Panthers signed former Chiefs DT Tershawn Wharton to a three-year, $54 million deal. Chiefs HC Andy Reid praised Wharton’s work ethic to elevate his career after going undrafted in 2020.
“He came from a small school (outside of) St. Louis, and he’s a worker. That kind of says it all,” Reid said, via Joe Person of The Athletic. “You look at the progress he made in college and the gain of weight, the gain of strength, all those things. And then he comes to us and you saw that same tenacity to get better at our level. The odds of him making the NFL were slim. But because of his work ethic and his athletic ability. He had been a running back. He kind of outgrew that into a nose guard or defensive tackle. Very active player. Great, great kid — quiet, but a great kid. And just tough.”
- A league executive talked about DT Milton Williams choosing New England over Carolina, which led to the Panthers signing Tershawn Wharton instead: “It was easier for New England to do that with Milton Williams than it would have been for Carolina. Wharton is smaller than Williams but had similar production.” (Mike Sando)

Saints
- A league executive believes this offseason was a good time for the Saints to go all-in on a rebuild: “It is easy to say from afar, but of all the teams, New Orleans, you can go get Arch Manning! Tear the thing down! You are not really competitive, you have no answer at QB, you are bloated, you have cap issues and in a year, the prodigal son could return home. What am I missing? (Mike Sando)
- He continued: “If the Saints said they were blowing it up, their fans would all get it. This is a year you probably could have traded Derek Carr.” (Sando)
