Panthers' Big Bet on Jaelan Phillips | Carolina Panthers News

The Carolina Panthers just dropped $120 million on Jaelan Phillips, making him the highest-paid edge rusher in the league — a bold move for a 27-year-old with a history of underwhelming stats. Critics question if the hefty $36.2M salary this year is justified, especially compared to Pro Bowl-caliber players. But Panthers’ brass believe Phillips, who led the league in pressures last season, can breakout under new DC Ejiro Evero — and the world is watching to see if this massive bet pays off.
