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 No. 55 for the Carolina Panthers, defensive tackle Cam Jackson.

At 6-foot-6 and 328 pounds, Jackson has the requisite size to hold up in the middle as he begins his NFL career. He was selected by the Panthers in the fifth round (No. 140 overall) of this year’s NFL Draft as Carolina looks to further solidify the interior of the defensive line.

Jackson played...

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

There are 56 days until the first game of the season for the Carolina Panthers. Today’s piece looks at the player wearing the number 56 jersey, linebacker Christian Rozeboom.

Rozeboom joined the Carolina Panthers on March 12th of this year when he agreed to a 1-year, $2.5M contract. He was an undrafted free agent out of South Dakota State University, signing with the Los Angeles Rams in 2020. He didn’t make the final roster cut there, but did catch on with the 2021 Kansas City Chiefs. The...

There are 57 days until the first game of the season for the Carolina Panthers. Today’s piece looks at the present and history of the number 57 jersey, which is currently being worn by rookie Bam Martin-Scott.

The rookie

Martin-Scott. 6’2” and 231 pounds, is a 25-year old undrafted free agent rookie linebacker out of South Carolina. Projected as 4-3 outside linebacker by most pre-draft analysts, his biggest knocks as an older rookie are a lack of experience in college combined with limited instincts and middle...

Hello CSR! Welcome to Brian Answers, part two of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! We got a lot of questions this week, and you all really went off in the comments about some off-topic music stuff. I love it. Let’s dive right in to all your questions!

Bruce Guild: Going out on a limb with some preseason guesses on who will be selected to this years Pro Bowl team.

Horn, Brown, and yes Bryce Young

Who am I missing?

What percentage would you say BY has a chance at the selection?

The Pro Bowl is a very fickle...

We continue our countdown to the Panthers opening their 2025 NFL Season!

Hello CSR! We’re 58 days away from the start of the 2025 regular season for the Carolina Panthers, meaning we’re going to talk about # 58 for the Panthers today; OLB Mapalo Mwansa!

Mwansa joins the Panthers as their latest member of the NFL International Pathway program, a program meant to help players outside of the NFL’s usual college pipeline find their way into the league. I think you all will fondly remember another one of these guys, former EDGE Efe Obada!

Mwansa signed as an outside linebacker,...

The Panthers offensive line may be fine in 2025, but there are some future concerns that can’t go ignored

For a team who had rotated through decision makers who constantly preached a “building through the trenches” philosophy to team building, it was rare that the Carolina Panthers put their money where their mouth was. When Dan Morgan was promoted to General Manager and fans were once again promised that the building up the trenches was the number one goal for his first offseason, there wasn’t much confidence that it would actually happen.

Turns out he wasn’t lying. While the performance...

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. 59 for the Carolina Panthers.

Current Player: retired (Luke Kuechly)

The number 59 is not currently worn by any Panthers player, nor will it ever be again. Luke Kuechly will likely be the first ever player inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame who spent his entire career in Carolina. While he did...

Our fan poll has every team finishing in a different place from 2024

The early cat gets the. . . pirate? Yeah, maybe that doesn’t work. But Panthers fans do think that something Dave Canales and Bryce Young are doing is working. Nearly a majority of Panthers fans that voted in last week’s reacts poll nominated the Carolina Panthers as the team that will win the NFC South in 2025.

Finishing second in the South would be a major accomplishment for the Panthers and be seen as a major upset by the national punditry. The Panthers finishing first would be...

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. 60 for the Carolina Panthers.

Current Player: n/a

The number 60 has not been a commonly worn number throughout the Panthers short history. I’m not sure why more guys don’t don the 60, but let’s look at the number’s history in Charlotte.

Notable Previous Players to Wear Number 60: Andrew Raym, Pat...
