Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 4m Fun #Panthers red zone work going down here. Back-to-back touchdown grabs by Xavier Legette, both delivered by Bryce Young. Joe Person @josephperson · 2m Bryce Young carving up the defense in goal line drills today. David Moore the latest to catch a touchdown. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 4m Back to back TD throws from Young to Legette in the back of the end zone. Second one was needled through traffic. #panthers

Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 3m Beautiful ball from Bryce Young in 11 on 11 to David Moore for a TD during red zone drills. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 1m Andy Dalton with another dime. Excellent placement in the crowd for Bryce Pierre in red zone for a TD. #Panthers

Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 26m Tre’von Moehrig picks off a short toss by Bryce Young over the middle in 11 on 11. #Panthers Joe Person @josephperson · 26m Tre’von Moehrig intercepts Bryce Young early in team. Jaycee Horn reacts loudly. Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 26m Tre’von Moehrig picks off Bryce Young. Reads a middle WR screen to Hunter Renfrow perfectly, gets a great jump on it, plucks it out of the air and takes it to “the house,” if there was an opposite end zone in this 11s work. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 22m Jack Plummer with a nice throw to the sideline to Kobe Hudson who beats DB Jack Henderson on a crosser out of the slot in 11 on 11. #Panthers Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 19m Chippy! Jacolby George catches a pass, Lathan Ransom knocks it loose and recovers the ball. Defense and offense have a few guys get into each others faces. #Panthers Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 14m Jalen Coker looks fast today. Short tissue injury seems mostly resolved. He and Legette had a pair of nice catch and run plays in 7 on 7. #Panthers Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 14m Have yourself a day, Kobe Hudson. Two nice catches in 11s and he just made a nice mid-range catch in 7s off a Dalton throw. #Panthers Joe Person @josephperson · 7m Matthew Wright was 3-5 on field goals. Missed wide left from 47. Wide right and maybe a touch short from 52.

Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 31m Here’s Tetairoa McMillan walking onto the field. No limp or anything as far as I can discern.

Darin Gantt @daringantt · 55m Adam Thielen also appears to be getting a day off. Both Horn and Thielen have been going hard all OTAs. Joe Person @josephperson · 54m Jaycee Horn getting the day off today. Tetairoa McMillan being held out as a precautionary measure after colliding with a defensive back yesterday, per team spokesman.

Darin Gantt @daringantt · 59m Josh Norman here, and caught up with Jaycee Horn during stretch. Horn looks like he’s getting a vet day/load management break.

ThePanthersWire @ThePanthersWire · 1m Panthers' Bryce Young, Jaycee Horn get into jawing match at Tuesday's mandatory minicamp It's kinda starting to feel like 2015 over in Charlotte, N.C. On Tuesday, the Carolina Panthers took the practice field for the first of three mandatory minicamp sessions. The outing featured some lively 7-on-7 action, including a jawing match between starting quarterback Bryce Young and Pro Bowl cornerback Jaycee Horn. That energy may remind Panthers fans of the infamous Cam Newton-Josh Norman fight at training camp 10 years ago. The two got physical after Norman picked off and stiff-armed Newton in the face, prompting quite a scuffle and—in what's become franchise lore—the team's run to Super Bowl 50. Horn also spoke about Young's chatter following practice. "He talkin' trash every day," Horn said with a smile. "It's getting fun." https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/06/10/panthers-mandatory-minicamp-bryce-young-jaycee-horn/84134382007/?taid=68487d6a1753370001725c2f&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 20m #Panthers OLB Amare Barno had a procedure to clean out his knee, per Canales. It was a similar situation to Tremble where the medical staff introduced an opportunity to help him. Unrelated but previously noted by @theobserver : Canales praises JT Sanders for coming back this offseason in great shape.

Joe Person @josephperson · 1m Practice ends with Andy Dalton feathering a perfect deep pass to Hunter Renfrow around a crowd of defenders. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 1m Andy Dalton ends practice with a dime of a deep throw to Hunter Renfrow for like 40 yards. Dalton fit it into traffic with a crowd of defenders in 11 on 11. Good day for Renfrow.

Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 17m Xavier Legette-Bryce Young connections on back to back passing plays. #Panthers Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 15m Another Shemar Bartholomew pick. He intercepted an Andy Dalton pass over the middle. #Panthers Joe Person @josephperson · 15m Shemar Bartholomew with an interception for the second week in a row. Gets Andy Dalton. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 14m Jalen Coker with a catch toward the sideline against Moehrig and CSW in coverage. Nice throw by BY in 7s. #Panthers

Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 24m Adam Thielen with another catch in traffic in 7 on 7. Nice throw Bryce Young. #Panthers Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 17m Another open practice, another highlight from Chau Smith-Wade. CSW broke up a short pass to David Moore from BY9 in 7 on 7. Young and Thielen have been automatic with three over the middle connections. #Panthers

Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 25m Shemar Bartholomew breaks up a pass from Andy Dalton to Dan Chisena. This followed a bullet over the middle to Adam Thielen by BY9. #Panthers Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 18m #Panthers kicker Ryan Fitzgerald just went 5 of 5 on the narrow field goal post with a high of 57. Joe Person @josephperson · 19m Have a day, Ryan Fitzgerald. 5-5 on the skinny goal posts.

Joe Person @josephperson · 52m Tre Boston and Kurt Coleman are at practice today. The Panthers could use another safety. Just saying. Joe Person @josephperson · 49m Xavier Legette has his cleat off and is getting his right foot looked at by a trainer. Joe Person @josephperson · 38m Xavier Legette back out participating in team drills. whew

Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · The only players I don’t see are Amare Barno and Tommy Tremble. Jimmy Horn (hamstring) is here in a practice jersey but doesn’t look like he is participating in drills.#Panthers

https://x.com/daringantt/status/1932478667524837553 Darin Gantt @daringantt Alumni day at minicamp. Beason, Short, Muhammad, Tolbert, Munnerlyn, Charles Johnson, and more. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · #Panthers OLB DJ Wonnum (back) taking part in individual drills today. He was absent the past two open workouts. Joe Person @josephperson · 54m Derrick Brown (knee) and Jimmy Horn (hamstring) are in uniform but not taking part in drills. D.J. Wonnum is practicing after missing time with a back issue.

if Jaycee gets hurt we are screwed. I know the board thinks we are another year away, but I think we're closer, and I'd love to get a FA corner. Constantly losing destroys a teams confidence and desire. Winning helps build the team...the lockerroom gets confidence, and energy breeds off that. I think the team will develop more as a unit when we win more. And that will move us forward exponentially. The Saints comment after we beat them the second time last year...."that's not the same team we played earlier in the season" is true. The players bought into Canales, even those who went through the Rhule bullshit. We just missed out on beating the defending Super Bowl champs last year. Our WR and RB rooms are stacked. Our big problem was the DL and we certainly addressed that this year. Go ahead and build on defensive depth, get another CB. Let's go for a winning record this year, it will help build our culture. Finally a new culture. It's been missing since Riverboat.

dawgs

amazing how we got the guys we wanted. well done Dan

it's beautiful. What Dan and Dave have done is to quickly fix our OL so our young QB gets a chance to grow. That was our big need. Now we've fixed the DL with some good vets. In the new few drafts, we'll get young replacements when the free agents contracts are up. Games are won at the line. When I think about Rhule and his seven year plan...well let's just say he's gone and that's good. Look at the Saints when they got their franchise QB with Brees. At one point I think their OL was all first rd picks with one one second rd. Brees was a small guy as well. But he was talented. Protect the QB. Last year we spent the money and by the end of the year, our QB showed that we may actually have found our franchise QB. We're building the right way. I loved our draft. I really like our spending on the lines in FA. Hang in there guys. We are closer than you think.

Pitts is being talked about in trades. Falcons fans don't think he cares about football. Could be that a change of scenery would help. If I had been drafted by Atlanta I'd be ready to get out too. This is why you don't draft tight ends in the top 10. I think they took him in the top 5. And followed that up quickly by using a top 10 on a RB who is setting the world on fire either. Falconing.

when do we get the video version of this? did I miss it? or is now considered TMI to let out

so dang funny https://twitter.com/i/status/1928199231543636390

gives a good update on the Saints salary cap situation. While it gets better, but their dead money situtation is frightening, and will continue for another 2-3 seasons. and this little excerpt about the Falcons is pretty much Falconing: Some of the worst decisions franchises can make come when the team's incentives aren't aligned with the people who work for the team. Seven years removed from their last winning season and with a quarterback who has all of three career starts under center in Michael Penix Jr., the Falcons should not be all-in. There are reasons to be optimistic about what the future might hold, sure, but they were not one player away this offseason. General manager Terry Fontenot, though, might have been one player away from having a new job. After the disastrous, virtually inexplicable decision to guarantee Kirk Cousins $90 million in March 2024 and draft Penix a month later, and its natural conclusion with Cousins being benched by the end of his first year in Atlanta, the clock has been ticking on Fontenot's time with the Falcons. With the former Saints executive batting about 1-for-8 (Drake London) on his Day 1 and 2 picks in 2021 and 2022, it seems as if Atlanta is treading water. He is only the seventh GM since 2000 to start his career with four losing seasons and get a shot at turning things around in Year 5. good summary on what we did, including this part " Carolina Panthers The superlative: Most likely to have definitely solved their problem this time, for sure Unlike the Falcons, the Panthers seem insistent on addressing their weak spot every single offseason. Since trading DJ Moore to the Bears as part of the deal for Bryce Young in 2023, Carolina has thrown asset after asset at wide receiver in an attempt to get its young quarterback some playmakers. Its moves for veterans have produced mixed results: Adam Thielen has been a reliably solid option and averaged a team-high 1.9 yards per route run over the past two seasons, but Diontae Johnson's brief run will probably be remembered only by obsessive Immaculate Grid users. The draft is where the Panthers have focused their efforts. After drafting Jonathan Mingo in 2023, Xavier Legette in 2024 and Tetairoa McMillan last month, they have invested top-40 picks on wide receivers in three consecutive drafts. They're the first team to do that in 20 years, but even they haven't gone to the heights that the 2003-05 Lions did: Detroit used three top-10 picks to add Charles Rogers, Roy Williams and Mike Williams. Two years later, the Lions added a fourth who stuck around slightly longer -- future Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson. The Lions went 1-for-3 at best with those three consecutive picks in the top 10. The Panthers are on pace to go 0-for-2. Mingo was dealt to the Cowboys before the end of his second season. Legette averaged a middling 1.3 yards per route run as a rookie, ranked 134th in ESPN's receiver score and generated 104 receiving yards below what an average receiver would have done with the same targets in 2024, per NFL Next Gen Stats, the 17th-worst mark in the league. It's perfectly reasonable to be patient with Legette and see what he can do in 2025, but it's also realistic to point out that he wasn't an impact player as a rookie. His most notable moment was dropping what would have potentially been a winning touchdown reception to beat the eventual Super Bowl champion Eagles. The Panthers will hope McMillan makes more of an instant impact. It's clear they're attempting to build a bully-ball group of receivers by adding Mingo (6-foot-2, 220 pounds), Legette (6-3, 227 pounds) and Jalen Coker (6-3, 213 pounds), an undrafted free agent who arguably outplayed Legette last season. At 6-4, McMillan is another big target for Young. At Arizona, McMillan was consistently able to leverage that frame into making tough catches. His massive catch radius and ability to create after bringing in the ball would be huge pluses for the Carolina offense if they translate quickly to the pro level. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45318618/2025-nfl-offseason-nfc-teams-best-worst-deals-contracts-draft-picks-superlatives
