From long shots to old favorites, let's talk big name contributions

With weeks left to go until training camp, there is very little substantive prognosticating left to do about the rookies and free agent additions that have swelled the Carolina Panthers talent pool this year. We simply won't learn much more about how they will all work together until they put pads on in training camp.

So let's chew the fat around some slightly more known quantities: This week we're asking which Panthers star will take the biggest step forward this season. And yes, before you ask, we are going...

We’re counting down the days until the Panthers open up the 2025 season!

In this series, we’ll be counting down until opening kickoff by running through the Panthers roster by jersey number. Today’s piece looks at the current and historical players to have ever donned No. 81 for the Carolina Panthers.

Current Player: TJ Luther

Luther (5’11”, 190 lbs) started his collegiate career at Wofford in 2018. Had Richardson still owned the team, we would have made plenty of jokes about why Luther was in camp with the Panthers, probably to the effect of him being Brenton Bersin’s half...

Come as us all your burning questions as we soldier on through the off-season!

Hello CSR! Welcome to this week’s edition of Brian Asks, YOUR weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! The Panthers did something interesting this week, as they rolled out some kind of campaign they are calling “Leave Your Mark”. Could be just a hype video, could be them hinting at some kind of change to their uniforms/presentation, it could be something else entirely. What it did do was get people talking, so for this week’s topic of the week, throw out your questions about this “Leave Your...

We’re continuing our countdown to the start of the Panthers regular season!

Hello CSR! We’re 82 days away from the start of the regular season for the Carolina Panthers! To celebrate another day off the count, we’re highlighting number 82 for the team; tight end Tommy Tremble!

Tremble arrived in Carolina as the 83rd overall pick in the 3rd round of the 2021 NFL Draft, hailing from Notre Dame. The former Irishman was praised by scouts for his athleticism and blocking ability, with a ton of room as a receiver. He ended up starting 11 games as a rookie for...

Free agency help is available and Panthers fans want their team to take advantage

Last week we asked Panthers fans what, if anything, they’d like to see the Carolina Panthers do to upgrade their shallow secondary. There was one clear favorite amongst the three bigger name options available via either free agency or trade.

77% of Panthers fans would rather the team pursue an upgrade via signing a veteran free agent over trading for an aging, former star. Former Indianapolis Colts safety Julian Blackmon, PFF’s 23rd best coverage safety in 2024, is the clear choice for most fans. The Panthers...

We’re counting down the days until the Panthers open up the 2025 season!

There are 83 days left until the first day of the Carolina Panthers 2025 season. With that, we talk about the man wearing number 83 for the Panthers, wide receiver David Moore.

Career overview

Moore was a 2017 seventh round pick by the Seattle Seahawks and appeared in one game with no stats as a rookie. Over the next three seasons he earned an important role in the Seahawks passing game. Between 2018 and 2020 he hauled in 78 total receptions for 1,163 yards and an...

We’re counting down the days until the start of the 2025 Panthers season!

84 days to go until we get to watch real Carolina Panthers football, CSR! We’re celebrating that by taking a deeper dive on number 84 for the Panthers; rookie tight end Mitchell Evans!

Mitchell Evans was selected out of Notre Dame with the 163rd overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft by the Panthers, joining his fellow Irishman Tommy Tremble in the tight end room. He caught 77 passes for 903 yards and 5 TDs in college (and ran for one touchdown too!), with the bulk of...

We’re counting down the days until the Panthers open up the 2025 season!

The wait for the start of the Carolina Panthers season is down to just 85 days. As we approach that grand occasion, we celebrate the players wearing those numbers. Today’s number, 85, is sported by rookie tight end James Mitchell.

“The Governor,” as he’s apparently known, spent four years at Virginia Tech, though he only got significant playing time in the middle two seasons thanks to a season ending injury at the beginning of his senior year. He caught 52 balls for 838 yards and eight touchdowns...

The Panthers break from minicamp feeling good about where they are.

The Carolina Panthers wrapped up their three day mandatory minicamp on Thursday and will go their separate ways until they reconvene for training camp in mid July. We’ve gotten lots of reports about the goings on, and a lot of them are good. It is camp after all. Everyone is great in camp.

Even with that caveat in mind, the quotes and energy coming out of camp are hard not to be excited about. Head coach Dave Canales spoke glowingly about the energy the team had over the three...
