Key players and members of the Panthers coaching staff spoke after the first da

The Carolina Panthers started their Organized Team Activities on Thursday. With that, top members of the coaching staff and a couple players spoke with the media, as you might expect, everyone is very excited.

Xavier Legette and Bryce Young both got in front of the press to talk about going into their second and third year’s respectively. Legette talked about meeting with wide receivers coach Rob Moore and offensive coordinator Brad Idzik right after the season to review his rookie year and talk about what went...

With four rookies, each at positions of need, Carolina is poised for significant change

Eyes are split in the Carolinas this offseason, as continued improvement from quarterback Bryce Young and a nowhere-to-go-but-up attitude towards the defense vie for attention as the likeliest reason the Carolina Panthers could make a competitive leap forwards in 2025.

This week we're going to focus on the defense. The Panthers' 2025 draft class included four defensive players, edges Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen, safety Lathan Ransom, and defensive tackle Cam Jackson. Every position group on this defense was in need of upgrades, so each rookie...

Football can’t get here son enough now that we’re in the deep off season

Fans of the Carolina Panthers are ready for football to start in Charlotte, per last week’s Panthers Reacts survey. We asked y’all which of four games you were most looking forward to this season. The answer was mildly mixed, but a strong plurality of y’all are more than ready for the Panthers Week 3 home opener vs the Atlanta Falcons.

The Buffalo Bills game in Week 9 represents the strongest opponent the Panthers are likely to face at home, so it’s no surprise that fans are...

Hang out with chosen family as we remember the meaning of this holiday

The last Monday of May, less commonly remembered as Military Appreciation Month, is Memorial Day. While many people view it as simply a three-day weekend that kicks off summer it is more properly observed as a day of remembrance and honor for members of the American armed forces who died while serving.

This is not a football holiday but we are a community of football fans who are bound by more than just this sport. This holiday open thread is a space to share your plans for...

This is now an open thread!

Rookies abound on Carolina’s roster as the team looks to both win now and build for the future.

As the TV show 30 Rock continues its life on streaming services, there’s a clumsy quote from Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) as he reads his boss’s poorly-written business book:

“New blood is the lifeblood of every company’s blood.”

While not the most coherent quote about building strong organizations and teams, I think we get the point.

And so do the Carolina Panthers.

The veins of the Panthers roster is flowing with a lot of “new blood” as 27 of the 92 players...

The Carolina Panthers let go of a couple people involved in the scouting and drafting of players.

According to Joe Person of The Athletic, the Carolina Panthers have let a couple of people go from positions in player personnel. Director of Player Personnel Cole Spencer and college scout Robert Haines are out.

Spencer joined the Panthers as the team’s Director of College Scouting in 2021 before getting promoted to his role as Director of Player Personnel in 2023. He was a scout at various levels in the Commanders organization for over 10 years prior to that. Robert Haines had been...

The team has gone from a laughingstock to a team that people are looking forward to watching.

Up until recently, the Carolina Panthers had never established themselves as a mainstay in any particular segment of the NFL. The teams frequent oscillations in record prevented anyone outside of Carolina from having too strong or embedded opinion of the organization. Sometimes they were good, sometimes they were bad, but never did they move in either direction for long.

The last few years have changed that. A series of disastrous transactions and disastrous seasons made the Panthers the league’s punching bags. If a...

Injuries during voluntary workouts begin the roster churn

The Carolina Panthers have released undrafted free agent rookie wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad III with a waived/injured designation. They have re-signed wide receiver T.J. Luther to fill his spot on the team’s 90-man roster.

Muhammad, the son of former Panther great Muhsin “Moose” Muhammad II, was an intriguing prospect out of Texas A&M. He had relatively small production in college but flashed traits and a work ethic that had coaches both in college and with the Panthers optimistic about his pro prospects. He appears to have suffered an unspecified injury during voluntary...
