Carolina pairs its new running back for the entirety of their rookie quarterback’s contract, prior to a potential fifth-year option.

With NFL free agency underway, let's examine the best fits for former Philadelphia Eagles RB Miles Sanders. Where might he play in 2023?

With that said, the Panthers have about $19 million left to spend and are very much in need of a running back with Christian McCaffrey gone and D’Onta Foreman a free agent. At 26 years old, given his projected cost, Sanders may be the best fit for the role. In fact, the Panthers have the weakest group of skill-position players in the NFL right now. If the Buccaneers can make it work within the salary cap, Sanders and White could form an effective committee. In the midst of a rebuilding year, running back isn’t necessarily a priority. After releasing Leonard Fournette, the Bucs are now left with Rachaad White as their only capable running back. They entered the offseason with the most, and even after their moves, they still have the most remaining. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Chicago signed Sanders to split the rushing work and add a true passing-down back. The problem is Sanders is a zero in the passing game, commanding just a 5.2% target share last season. I view Sanders as a two-down back who doesn’t catch passes and isn’t even the best option at the goal line. Probably tells you at least one of the parties (Montgomery/Bears) wasn’t as interested as they said in getting a deal done.” My guess is that party was the Bears. I fully expect them to pair him with another back in a committee.
