The Carolina Panthers caused a significant stir just a few hours into the legal tampering window with two massive defensive splashes that put the NFL on notice. Edge rusher Jaelan Phillips generated the hype, but linebacker Devin Lloyd's arrival could be equally as important.
Lloyd signed a three-year, $45 million deal with the Panthers, which included $25 million in guarantees. This was far less than he was projected to get on the open market, which could be another tremendous piece of business by general manager Dan Morgan in a position desperate for a legitimate tone-setter.
