The Panthers are already familiar with Haason Reddick, who's in town with the Jets. Now might be a good time to strike a deal.

WIth less than a month to go before the NFL's 2024 regular season begins, teams are now in crunch time when it comes to making any last-minute upgrades and changes to their roster. At the moment the most aggressive team in the league is the NFC South rival Falcons, who have added two big pieces to their defense the last few days.

The Jets are already in Charlotte following yesterday's joint practice and ahead of tomorrow night's preseason game, which means the Panthers have an inside track opportunity to try to pull off a deal for one of the league's most underrated edge rushers. Reddick began his career as an inside linebacker with the Cardinals and wasn't anything special. However, he exploded in his fourth year when he moved outside to the edge, posting 12.5 sacks and 16 quarterback hits. That was enough to get him a one-year deal with the Panthers, and he followed up with another strong year in 2021, totalingfor Carolina. However, he left the following year for the Eagles as the Panthers didn't have the room to re-sign him.

That same issue might be the thing that stops the Panthers from getting him now. At the moment they only have aroundleft for the 2024 season, according to Over the Cap. That's not enough to add Reddick, who has a base salary of $14.25 million in this the last year on his current contract. However, if Carolina could get the Jets to pay a large portion of that deal it'd be worth cutting another player or two to make room for Reddick.

For now, Jadeveon Clowney is the only proven outside pass rusher on the roster - and Reddick is likely the best upgrade they can get before the season begins. The clock is ticking.Robert Hunt carted off field at joint practice between Panthers and Jets
