In a today’s edition of Predicting the Panthers, let’s give out some superlatives as training camp begins in the Queen City.

Since it's never too early to look forward to the NFL Draft, this weekly series will take a closer look at some of the prospects the Panthers could select in the 2025 iteration of the Draft. In this series, we'll only be looking at prospects the Panthers could seriously consider. For example, we won't be looking at any of the top quarterback prospects in the hope that the team won't be in the market for a franchise guy come April. This...

We’re counting down the days until the Panthers kick off the 2024 season.

There are 44 days left until the Carolina Panthers start the regular season against the New Orleans Saints. In conjunction with that number, we profile the guy who wears #44 for the Panthers, the man who has played more games in a Panthers jersey than anyone in human history, long snapper JJ Jansen.

Jansen originally signed with the Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2008. After a season of inactivity, the Panthers (for some reason) traded a conditional future draft pick to acquire him. He became...

The end of the offseason begins when players report to training camp

The Carolina Panthers are all set to begin their 2024 Training Camp and this season will bring a year of firsts. This is Dave Canales’ training camp as head coach of the Carolina Panthers and this will be the Panthers first season hosting training camp at their new practice facility adjacent to Bank of America Stadium in Uptown Charlotte.
