Will the Carolina Panthers acquire a top-tier pass rusher this offseason?

The Carolina Panthers pass rush has been virtually nonexistent over the past few seasons. Although the team once featured Brian Burns and Haason Reddick, they now lack a significant impact player at the EDGE rusher position. However, could Jadeveon Clowney or D.J. Wonnum provide a spark in 2025 after showing signs of improvement in 2024? Julian Council examines how the Panthers' pass rushers performed last season.

In recent Mock Drafts, two of the most popular picks for the Carolina Panthers have been Georgia pass rushers Jalon Walker and Mykell Williams. Given the team's needs along the edge, is it almost certain that they will select a pass rusher with the eighth overall pick?

How will the Panthers address their struggling pass rush this offseason? Did Clowney and Wonnum do enough to earn another year in Carolina? Could Super Bowl standout Josh Sweat be a target in free agency? Are the Panthers key players in the Myles Garrett sweepstakes?
