After finishing the 2023 season with the worst record in football,\u00a0first-year head coach Dave Canales\u00a0knew he couldn\u2019t rebuild this team in one offseason. With too many roster holes to fill, the former Buccaneers offensive coordinator prioritized the offense, rebuilding the offensive line while adding wide receivers Diontae Johnson and\u00a0first-round pick Xavier Legette into the mix. This approach worked, as the offense took off once the team benched Bryce Young for Andy Dalton.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, these offensive additions came at the expense of the defense. With\u00a0Brian Burns in New York, the Panthers lacked the pass rush to compensate for an already weak secondary. Now with the season effectively over, NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport tweeted that the team cut Troy Hill so they could give more playing time to their younger cornerbacks. This makes sense, as the Panthers want to see if they can find a diamond in the rough, while Hill would much rather play with a contender like the Baltimore Ravens or Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=lastwordonnfl&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1847334272685727947&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Flastwordonsports.com%2Fnfl%2F2024%2F10%2F19%2Fpanthers-cut-troy-hill-could-land-with-ravens-chiefs%2F&amp;sessionId=e3eda88d77805a18c68dd60a5f66941c187c775a&amp;siteScreenName=lastwordonnfl&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1847334272685727947\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Troy Hill Could Sign With Ravens, Chiefs After Unceremonious Cut<\/h2>\n<p>Troy Hill is not a Defensive Player of the Year candidate by any stretch of the imagination, but the recently cut veteran can provide some valuable depth for a team that could use more support in the secondary. That description fits the Baltimore Ravens to a tee, as the unit isn\u2019t as strong as usual. Normally associated with a deep and talented group of defensive backs, Baltimore\u2019s secondary has struggled through the first six games of the season. Marlon Humphrey is still great, but Brandon Stephens is nothing special, and\u00a0first-round pick Nate Wiggins is going through some growing pains as he adjusts to the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing as they share a division with the Cincinnati Bengals and a conference with the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs, the Ravens could use as many reliable cornerbacks as they can find.\u00a0Lamar Jackson is playing like an MVP\u00a0and Derrick Henry is dominating opponents on the ground, but the Ravens can\u2019t bank on winning every game in a shootout. Troy Hill isn\u2019t good enough to handle Ja\u2019Marr Chase on an island, but the veteran could cut out a spot for himself as a valuable depth piece who should see plenty of action in nickel packages.<\/p>\n<h3>Super Bowl Reinforcements<\/h3>\n<p>The Kansas City Chiefs enter Week 7 with a pristine 5-0 record, but it will take more than regular season success to win their third consecutive Super Bowl. The offense isn\u2019t as unstoppable as usual, as quarterback Patrick Mahomes is struggling to make it work without free agent signee Marquise Brown and the reliable Rashee Rice. While Travis Kelce and\u00a0first-round pick Xavier Worthy\u00a0are still around, the defense must do more heavy to maintain their status as kings of the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>With\u00a0L\u2019Jarius Sneed now with the Tennessee Titans, the Chiefs could use another cornerback. Trent McDuffie remains elite and Jaylen Watson is having a strong season, but you need more than two reliable cornerbacks in today\u2019s pass-happy NFL. Troy Hill cannot match Sneed\u2019s impressive play, but the cut veteran could easily be the third cornerback on this depth chart. If Kansas City\u2019s offense doesn\u2019t improve, this team will need someone like Hill to keep games from turning into shootouts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Carolina Panthers cut Troy Hill as the team hopes to get younger, freeing up the veteran to sign with a contender down the stretch.
