Latest news and updates about the Panthers
The Panthers investment in their front seven on defense continues. Late Monday Night, Adam Schefter reported the Panthers had closed the deal with someone they’d been heavily rumored to be interested in and negotiating with, arguably the best available inside linebacker in free agency. Just like with EDGE Jaelan Phillips earlier in the day, the […]
The Panthers are adding to their quarterback room behind starter Bryce Young. Per reports, Carolina is inking former Eagles, Raiders, and Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett to a one-year deal worth up to $7.5 million with $4 million in guaranteed money. He has mainly been a backup the past two seasons after two seasons as a […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t done making moves on the first day of legal tampering. Per Jordan Schultz, the Steelers are signing former Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle. The South Carolina product rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of the last two seasons, averaging just under five yards per rush in each season. This […]
The Detroit Lions filled one of their biggest needs by agreeing to terms with former Carolina Panthers center Cade Mays. Though he’s only started 27 games over four seasons, Mays’ career has clearly been on the upswing. Initially an injury replacement for Austin Corbett at center in 2025, Mays remained at the pivot for the […]
The Detroit Lions have found their new center. According to Aaron Wilson, the Lions have agreed to terms with former Carolina Panthers starting center Cade Mays to a three-year, $25 million contract. Per Wilson, $14 million of that is guaranteed. Mays, the Panthers’ sixth-round pick in 2022, will turn just 27 years old in April. […]
Former Philadelphia Eagles edge defender Jaelan Phillips, SB Nation’s third overall rated free agent this season, is reportedly signing with the Carolina Panthers for a deal that is wildly outside of their current cap situation. The 26-year old pass rusher is one of the big gets of the offseason, a fact underscored by the 4-year, […]
Over the past few seasons, we’ve been putting together a team of ex-Jets based on how they had performed with their new teams during the year. Last month we recapped how ex-Jets fared during the 2025 season, so let’s now attempt to put together an all-former Jets team for 2025. Quarterback – Sam Darnold What […]
The “legal tampering period” before free agency opens today. That is to say that between now and the start of free agency on Wednesday, NFL teams will have the opportunity to leak all of the illegal tampering that they have been engaged in for weeks. Priorities for this offseason were clear (bolster the defense!) right […]
Panthers News Chuba Hubbard is heading into 2026 with a clear path back to the top of Carolina’s backfield after a 2025 season in which a calf injury cost him his starting role and altered the course of his year. The 26-year-old opened last season as the Panthers’ lead back before suffering a calf injury [...]
Last season too many of the Panthers opposing quarterbacks left the field at the end of the game with mostly clean jerseys. Sure, their jerseys may have been marred by sweat, spit, and maybe a Gatorade spill, but too few of them had grass stains. Lacking a signature edge rusher, the Panthers defense struggled to […]

The Carolina Panthers are coming off an 8-9 season and surprising NFC South division title. While many Panthers players who were on the active roster last season are already under contract for 2026 as the team hopes to build off last year’s success, there are a handful of fringe players Carolina is either returning from last year […]
The Buffalo Bills have traded for Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore. The move reunites Moore with his former coach, Joe Brady, who was with him while they were on the Carolina Panthers. Moore reshapes the Bills wide receiver move in just the right way, and at age 28, he has many more solid years […]
The combine has come and gone. The measurements are all well and good, but for a lot of teams, the chance to meet with players face to face is just as, if not more important. The Carolina Panthers likely met with a lot of players, but we only got a few reported to us. While […]
As the Panthers prepare for free agency, how is their salary cap situation being impacted by dead money and rolling over unused salary cap from last year? According to Spotrac, Carolina currently has $7.6 million in available cap space, which ranks 18th in the league. That number could change at any time if the front […]
In this article, we’ll take a look at players consistently mocked to the Carolina Panthers before the combine and how they performed in Indianapolis.

The combine has been underway for a few days now, and the workouts have taken everyone’s attention.

The run-up to the start of the NFL’s 2026 league year is underway. The new league year begins on Wednesday, March 11th, at which time all teams must be under the salary cap, trades can again be executed, and free agents may begin signing contracts with new teams. However, a few pieces of the puzzle […]
The Carolina Panthers have spent the last few seasons turning around the narrative of the on-field product, culminating in an unlikely NFC South division crown this past season. Off the field, the players have not seen as much growth. While the Panthers overall rank rose from 25th overall in 2025 to 23rd overall in 2026, […]
