Regardless how much money the Panthers do or do not spend on Josh Norman, they need more cornerbacks.

They’re going to start looking for some this week.

According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Steelers free agent Brandon Boykin is visiting the Panthers Monday.

The Panthers need a slot corner if they’re planning on using Bene Benwikere outside, and Boykin has shown signs of being able to help there.

He played well once the Steelers started playing him more the last month of the season. It’s unclear whether they were holding him back earlier to cut into what they owed the Eagles in conditional trade compensation, or they didn’t think he was better than what they had.
