5. Terrace Marshall Jr., WR
Marshall Jr. has been a player who fans have been excited about for years, but his potential has never translated to a good season.
He’s not as needed as he once was, with Adam Thielien, Johnson and Legette ahead of him, along with Jonathan Mingo finding some success last year as a rookie.
While Carolina doesn’t necessarily need him long term, it would be nice to keep him around. Thielien (soon to be 34-years-old) is creeping up on retirement and Johnson is set to be a likely pricey unrestricted free agent next summer.
Canales says that as Terrace Marshall Jr settles into the offense, he’s getting faster. Notes that his production hasn’t been great in the past but he’s looking forward to where TMJ can take his talents this year. #Panthers @1340AMFOXSports pic.twitter.com/lRFIOeJ9Ks

Marshall Jr. could be a cheaper alternative. He flashed some potential in 2022 with 28 receptions for 490 yards and a touchdown, but he will need to do more – albeit in a limited role – to garner an extension, as he’s also due to become an unrestricted free agent after this season.
If Marshall Jr. can become a red-zone threat, or the big-play receiver he was in 2022, he could earn himself a contract and help the Panthers from overspending at wide receiver.
