Here at Cat Scratch Reader we have counted down the final 100 days leading up to the Carolina Panthers season opener by for at least the past ten years. We’ve always done this by highlighting the current player on the roster whose jersey number matches the day on the countdown. This year, we decided to change that up a bit by counting down our own list of the Top 100 Panthers of all time. This does not correspond to jersey number, does not need to be somebody who wore a jersey, and will in no way be controversial.

‘If new Ravens HC Jesse Minter can’t right the defense this year, one prominent member of the unit may be gone in 2027. Widely regarded as one of the game’s best off-ball linebackers, Roquan Smith has been a core player for four seasons. He continues to put up numbers, though his splash plays are down. […]

Do the Steelers have a better coaching staff under Mike McCarthy? When the Steelers hired Mike McCarthy to replace Mike Tomlin, he filled his coaching staff with faces familiar to him.

Pats Pulpit
Jonah Savaiinaea did not have the most impressive rookie seasons. After being selected in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, there were high expectations that Savaiinaea would serve as a solid guard option. That was not the case as he was penciled in at left guard after spending the majority of his college time at right guard.
With a new coaching staff coming in, the plan is to move Savaiinaea to right guard with rookie Kadyn Proctor sliding into the left guard spot. Maybe a move back to right guard will make Savaiinaea a bit more comfortable and...
