Fantasy Impact:
Lloyd has been linked to the Panthers for the past few days and Carolina made the signing official on Monday night. It's a big loss for the Jaguars as Lloyd earned All-Pro Second Team honors and a nod to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career in 2025. He finished with 81 tackles, which was a career-low, but did have six tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks, and a career-high five interceptions - one of which he returned 99 yards for a touchdown. He allowed just a 57.1 passer rating when targeted, and was credited with 28 pressures - the third most among off-ball linebackers. Lloyd was on the field for at least 15 games in each of his four seasons in Jacksonville and recorded at least 100 stops in his first three campaigns. Lloyd will immediately step into the starting lineup for the Panthers and should return to the century mark in tackles.
