Panthers Eyeing Diggs & Bosa for 2026 Roster Boost
24 May
Summary
- Panthers might target veteran WR Stefon Diggs and pass rusher Joey Bosa.
- Diggs offers proven receiving ability with significant playoff experience.
- Bosa could bolster the pass rush despite injury history.
The Carolina Panthers, led by President of Football Operations/General Manager Dan Morgan, are actively evaluating veteran free agents to potentially bolster their 2026 roster. Among the notable players being considered are wide receiver Stefon Diggs and pass rusher Joey Bosa.
Stefon Diggs, a four-time Pro Bowler with over 11,500 career receiving yards, was released by the New England Patriots. Despite a history of generating attention, his wealth of experience could significantly benefit a young Panthers receiving group that includes promising talents like Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette.
On the defensive side, 10-year veteran Joey Bosa presents an option for the Panthers' pass rush. While Bosa has dealt with injuries, he demonstrated effectiveness in the 2025 season, recording five sacks and leading the NFL with five forced fumbles. His addition would provide depth, especially with uncertainties surrounding other pass rushers on the roster.
The Panthers have already made a significant move by signing Jaelan Phillips. However, Bosa's ability to generate pressure and force turnovers on key snaps could make him a valuable investment for the team's defensive efforts.
