The Carolina Panthers want to bolster their defensive front heading into training camp, and Carlos Dunlap is one player they are taking a closer look at.
Dunlap had a free agent visit scheduled in Carolina on Monday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The defensive end is from South Carolina, so he may have interest in joining his home team.
Two-time Pro-Bowl free agent DE Carlos Dunlap is visiting the Panthers today, per source. Dunlap is from North Charleston, SC, and the Panthers are his hometown team. They need a pass rusher to replace Haason Reddick, who went to the Eagles.

Dunlap, 33, spent the last two seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. He was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round in 2010 and played from them until midway through 2020, when he was traded to Seattle. Dunlap made back-to-back Pro Bowls in 2015 and 2016.
Despite his age, Dunlap was very productive last year in Seattle. He appeared in all 17 games and had 8.5 sacks. The former Florida star has missed only a few games over the past several seasons.
