The Carolina Panthers are reportedly considering signing linebacker Devin White as a potential bargain free agent. After upgrading their inside linebacker position with Devin Lloyd, the Panthers may look to add more depth, as Trevin Wallace's performance has raised concerns. White, a former top-five pick in the 2019 draft, has experience and has been effective against the run, but his coverage skills have been criticized. At 28 years old, he brings a mix of youth and experience that could benefit the Panthers if Wallace does not show marked improvement by training camp.
