The Panthers did a bit of roster churning this week, including releasing their 2022 sixth round pick.

Hello all! The Panthers made several moves this week, so I wanted to give you a comprehensive breakdown of the moves this fine Friday evening. Let’s dive right in.

Earlier this week, the Panthers released LB Josey Jewell, and placed TE Tommy Tremble and WR Dan Chisena on the PUP list. They also placed P Sam Martin and DL Bobby Brown III on the active/non-football injury list. They turned around and signed TE Tyler Mabry, a former Seahawks tight end they had worked...

They’re not there yet, but steps are being made in the right direction

NFL media superstar Daniel Jeremiah has shared his checklist for building a championship foundation in the modern game several times since he’s had a platform. According to Jeremiah, the checklist for a championship caliber roster is as follows:

• (1) Quarterback
• (3) Offensive Playmakers
• (3) Quality Offensive Lineman
• (2) Pass Rushers
• (3) Defensive Playmakers

Around this time of year in 2024, following the dismal 2023 season and the new brain trust set to lead the franchise, we evaluated where the Carolina Panthers roster...

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

There are 44 days until the first game of the 2025 season for the Carolina Panthers. Today, we’re taking a closer look at the the player currently wearing the No. 44 jersey — longsnapper JJ Jansen.

Jansen spent his rookie season, 2008, with the Green Bay Packers before being traded to the Panthers for a conditional draft pick. He has since earned the record for most games played for the franchise (260), which he claimed from kicker Jon Kasay in 2022.

Since claiming that record, Jansen has...

We’re continuing our countdown to the Panthers 2025 season opener!

Hello CSR! We’re 45 Days away from the start of regular season Panthers football! That means we’re going to take today to highlight #45 for the Panthers: tight end Bryce Pierre!

The former UCLA Bruin signed with the Panthers following the 2025 NFL Draft as an undrafted free agent. He started as a JUCO player, then transferred to Arizona State in 2022, and transferred to UCLA for his final year in 2025. Throughout his Division 1 career, he logged 28 receptions for 233 yards in 23 total games throughout 3...

Which underrated players can help the Panthers be competitive again in 2025?

NFL teams are often caught in the quarterback conundrum. While quarterbacks are not the only predictor of team success — that’s why the “quarterback win” is a ridiculous statistic — you’ll be hard-pressed to get where you want to go without a man who understands how to play the most important position in sports at a fairly high level.

Through the 2023 season, the Carolina Panthers were very much on the wrong end of the equation. The franchise traded its ninth overall pick, receiver D.J. Moore, and other...

Predicting the most talked about players during the Carolina Panthers training camp

Over the next few weeks, social media is going to be ablaze with updates on every single rep of training camp as we all clamor for updates on every player and position battle like it will be the difference between the 1st overall pick and the super bowl.

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

Hello CSR! We’re 46 Days away from the start of regular season Panthers football! That means we’re going to take today to highlight #46 for the Panthers: tight end Dominique Dafney!

Dafney entered the league in 2020 as an undrafted free agent out of Indiana State, signing with the Colts. He was waived during final roster cuts, but eventually found a home with the Packers in October of that year on their practice squad. He ended up playing in 15 total games with 4 starts, with 235...

Let's all wish the man well as he prioritizes his health.

The Carolina Panthers have announced the release of veteran linebacker and second-year Panther Josey Jewell. Jewell has chosen to step away from football to address lingering symptoms from concussions and the team has left the door open to his return in the future.

It is unclear what symptoms were lingering or why this move coincided with the first day of veterans returning to training camp, but that is now largely a private concern of Jewell’s. The most we can do, as fans, is wish him well on his recovery....
