7/08/25 | Carolina Panthers 2025 Fantasy Football Team Preview: Bryce Young Ready To Rebound. The Carolina Panthers are sitting on a seven-year streak with no trips to the postseason or a winning record. Since drafting Bryce Young, Carolina went 7-27 while being outscored by 373 points. Dave Canales gets a second season as the Panthers' head coach, with a goal of saving his job. Canales was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offensive coordinator in 2023.

7/07/25 | Surprise, surprise: Panthers' defense gets two potential in-division All-Stars. Recently, Matt Holder of Bleacher Report did some extended work on each of the NFL's eight divisions. When it comes to the NFC South, this foursome was far from a defensive juggernaut in 2024. The Carolina Panthers finished dead last in the league in fewest total yards allowed. Dave Canales's club also set a dubious NFL record by giving up 534 points in a single season. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/surprise-surprise-... |
7/07/25 | Buccaneers OC named head coaching candidate. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have seen their last two offensive coordinators hired away for head coaching vacancies. Dave Canales went to the Carolina Panthers and Liam Coen headed up north to join the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now, Josh Grizzard has the unfortunate chance to keep the trend going. Bleacher Report writer Moe Moton listed Grizzard as one of eight coordinators around the league with a chance to go to a head coaching job.

The five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro earned a Super Bowl ring with the New England Patriots in 2018 (LIII), and was the NFL Defensive Player in '19.

7/06/25 | Viral Jalen Hurts meme resurrects bad takes on Cam Newton, Panthers Super Bowl loss. The Carolina Panthers have appeared in the Super Bowl twice. The first was following the 2003 season when they lost 32-29 to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVIII. The second was following the 2015 season when Cam Newton led them to a 15-1 record, but they fell to the Denver Broncos 24-10 in Super Bowl 50. Newton, who won the 2015 NFL MVP award for his dominant season, took a lot of heat for not diving on a loose ball in the fourth quarter.

7/06/25 | Analyst indentifies intriguing 2022 NFL team as role model for Seahawks. The NFL is a copycat league, plain and simple. According to Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog, the Seahawks should take some cues from the 2022 Carolina Panthers, who went just 7-10 and missed the playoffs. Well, it all has to do with their new quarterback, Sam Darnold. In his first five games as the Panthers' starter that season, Darnold threw seven touchdowns to just one interception and had 10 "big-time throws" to three turnover-wrothy plays.

7/06/25 | Carolina Panthers tight end depth chart is wide open. The Carolina Panthers have several talented options at tight end, but they don't seem to have a perfect plan. Tremble, who was a third-round selection in the 2021 NFL draft, has yet to assert himself as a true TE1. Behind him is Ja'Tavion Sanders, a fourth-round pick last season out of Texas. Ideally, those two would be battling it out for snaps, but neither has done enough to keep fifth-round rookie Mitchell Evans at bay. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-pant... |
7/05/25 | Carolina Panthers youngster goes from bust to 'most promising building block'. During the early part of the 2024 season, the Carolina Panthers feared the worst with quarterback Bryce Young. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft was struggling mightily and was sent to the bench in favor of veteran Andy Dalton. Then, Dalton suffered a thumb injury in a car accident, which forced the Panthers to give Young another chance. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-pant... |
7/05/25 | NFL analyst says Bryce Young has more to prove than most in 2025. Coming into 2024, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young had a lot to prove. Can he be a high-level QB? These questions and more face him, and that's why Geosam James ranked him one of the QBs with the most to prove. There were 10 QBs listed: CJ Stroud, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, Anthony Richardson, Dak Prescott, Sam Darnold, Caleb Williams, and Young.

7/04/25 | 3 serious NFC contenders tabbed landing spots for ex-Panthers edge Jadeveon Clowney. When the Carolina Panthers released Jadeveon Clowney the news came as a surprise. Not only did the news take analysts, reporters and other NFL players off-guard, Clowney himself seemed to be blindsided - and he vowed that he was going to continue playing, and playing well, per NBC Sports.

7/04/25 | Analyst has Carolina Panthers' upgraded skill group still graded as NFC South's worst. The Carolina Panthers have spent the last two offseasons trying to fix the skill-position groups. After their plan in 2023 largely backfired, they've added weapons in every offseason to give them a group of Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans, Tetairoa McMillan, Adam Thielen, Jimmy Horn Jr., and Tommy Tremble.

7/04/25 | Key 2025 position battle for Carolina Panthers identified by NFL analyst. The Carolina Panthers finished 2024 on a strong note — or they were at least much better by the end of the season than the beginning. While his development throughout the year was impressive, the Panthers know his play is far from their biggest concern. Carolina had a historically bad defense in 2024, which is why Ejiro Evero has suddenly dropped in defensive coordinator rankings. In an effort to get back on track, they added Tre'Von Moehrig, Tershawn Wharton, Patrick Jones II, and Bobby Brown III in free agency. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/news/key-2025-posi... |
7/03/25 | ESPN ranks 3 former Panthers DBs best picks ever at their NFL draft slots. The consensus seems to be that the Carolina Panthers dramatically overpaid their secondary this offseason. Jaycee Horn's megadeal has consistently been ranked among the worst in the league at his position, Mike Jackson got a pretty handsome pay-day given his experience and Tre'Von Moehrig is the biggest overpay of any safety in the NFL, according to some analysts. There is some truth to those claims, but the unfortunate fact is that Carolina has to offer potential free agents more money than their competitors - and even that isn't enough sometimes - as we learned from the team's failed pursuit of Jaire Alexander. The only way to break out of this cycle is to start winning games and making better draft picks to build a long-term contender that's better suited to compete thanks to contributions from players on cheap rookie contracts.

7/03/25 | Key Carolina Panthers draft pick named among top-10 NFL rookies to watch in 2025. The Carolina Panthers have little choice but to lean heavily on some of their 2025 NFL draft picks in their inaugural seasons as a pro. At the top of the list, No. 8 overall pick Tetairoa McMillan - a wide receiver out of Arizona - is projected to carry quite the heavy load for a rookie this year. According to ESPN analyst Mike Clay's projections for the coming season, McMillan will wind up seeing a team-high 120 targets, totaling 75 catches, 1,019 receiving yards and six touchdowns.

7/03/25 | Panthers urged to consider overkill trade with Colts. For the first time in a while, the Carolina Panthers seem to be set at wide receiver. Is the current roster filled with star wide receivers? Latham said the Panthers have a "small army" of promising yet unproven wide receivers on the roster.

7/02/25 | No reason potential Panthers game-changer should sit in free agency any longer. The woes of the Carolina Panthers' 2024 defensive unit have been well documented. All of this is the primary reason Dave Canales's squad allowed an NFL-record 534 points in '24. Ejiro Evero's defensive unit gave up 59 offensive touchdowns—24 on the ground and an NFL-high 35 through the air. The Panthers have a highly-regarded pair of cornerbacks in 2024 Pro Bowler Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/no-reason-potentia... |
7/02/25 | Tackling machine sitting in free agency should be on Panthers radar. Right now, the two thinnest portions of the Carolina Panthers' rebuilt defense are the linebacker and safety rooms. There are options all around in free agency. In particular, linebacker Kyzir White is one that Bleacher Report insider Brent Sobleski thinks could help all teams, but the Panthers have that need more than most.

7/02/25 | 2015 Broncos defense that dominated Panthers earns high praise. The Carolina Panthers might have won Super Bowl 50 if they'd faced virtually any other team. The Broncos had a sort of historic defense that year, and they perfectly matched up with Carolina's weak spots, particularly on the offensive line. Von Miller made life a waking nightmare for Cam Newton that day, something no other player or defensive unit had been able to do for the entire season. It's a defense that will haunt Panthers fans for eternity, and it just got incredibly high praise from Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/news/2015-broncos-... |
7/02/25 | Free agent cornerback tabbed for reunion with Carolina Panthers by NFL analyst. Despite loads of effort, the Carolina Panthers still have a few holes on defense. Safety and linebacker are far from complete units, and there's literally no depth behind cornerbacks Mike Jackson and Jaycee Horn. The latter issue is one that can easily be addressed with a veteran free agent, perhaps even one who has played with Carolina before. Stephon Gilmore was a big acquisition during the Matt Rhule era, though it's also one that didn't quite pan out. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/news/free-agent-co... |
