The Carolina Panthers appear to be looking to fill a big hole at pass rusher.
And they are considering a two-time Pro Bowler to do it.
Carlos Dunlap is visiting the club today, according to Adam Schefter (https://www.facebook.com/100044578682963/posts/575514597277825/
Dunlap is from North Charleston, SC, so the Panthers are his hometown team.
They need a pass rusher to replace Haason Reddick, who went to the Eagles — and Dunlap has been a good one over the years.
He logged a career-high 13 sacks with the Bengals in 2015 and had 8.5 last year in his only campaign with the Seahawks.
Most of them came in his final four games, showing he still has the gas to finish strong at his age (33).
Dunlap remains one of the better free agents on the market and teams like the Baltimore Ravens, which also need pass-rush help, also may be a good fit.
