Panthers consider reunion with DaQuan Jones as offseason moves continue

The Carolina Panthers are exploring roster improvements ahead of the 2026 NFL season, focusing on defense. ESPN's Aaron Schatz recommends re-signing defensive tackle DaQuan Jones, who played all 17 games for the team in 2021. The Panthers seek depth following Tershawn Wharton's neck surgery, which may limit his availability for training camp. Currently, the team's interior defensive line includes Pro Bowler Derrick Brown. Jones brings 12 years of NFL experience and versatility, making him a potential asset in bolstering the team's defensive roster. The Panthers have time to finalize their roster decisions before the season begins.
