A routine practice squad addition that signals depth concerns at outside linebacker for Carolina. Five headlines covered the move, all framing it as a low-key roster management decision. Muhammad is an undrafted fringe player with no meaningful NFL production — a classic camp body signing. Fans barely noticed, as this type of move rarely generates meaningful discussion or optimism. Muhammad will likely serve as developmental depth and faces long odds of making the active roster.

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Carolina Panthers — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Jamil's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL OLBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $885K average annual value ranks as bargain money for the OLB market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Jamil is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
