2025 season opener countdown

Our countdown has begun

May 31st marks 99 days to go until the Carolina Panthers open their season against the Jacksonville Jaguars. That means it is time for our annual roster countdown. We’ll profile either the player whose jersey number corresponds with the number of days remaining in the offseason or, if no player is currently wearing that number, a player who historically wore that number as a Panther.

This is it, folks. Football is back on the horizon. There are more OTAs in June, training camp begins in July, and the preseason is in August. Check out our full list of important offseason dates here.

This story stream will collect our whole countdown series, so check back if you missed a player profile along the way.
