Quote The Carolina Panthers’ offseason plan will begin to take shape over the next few weeks, as the 2025 NFL Draft process will hit its first two notable stops on the calendar with the major college all-star games. The East-West Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl were both very good to the Panthers in 2024. General manager Dan Morgan, during his first offseason at the helm, selected six players from the two all-star games with his seven draft picks. All six players from the Senior Bowl and Shrine Bowl made the roster and contributed in 2024. The team also signed several undrafted rookies from the two games, with Shrine Bowl alums like Jalen Coker, Demani Richardson and Jack Plummersticking with the team throughout the season. End quote op note im leaving out QB Sanders 1. Kenneth Grant, IDL, Michigan The Panthers clearly have a need (or three) in their front seven this offseason. Grant is the Pro Football Focus’s 19th overall prospect, and he is considered the top overall player heading into the week of work. Grant is a massive man (6-foot-3, 339 lbs.), who can stop the run, and boy, do the Panthers need a guy like that. If the Panthers were to trade back from their eighth overall pick to collect some draft capital, Grant could be a target in the teens. If he has a great week of work, maybe he can boost himself into the top 10 selections. End quote 2. Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina With Mike Jackson set to hit free agency, the Panthers could have a need at cornerback opposite Jaycee Horn. Revel, a former small-school standout, shined at ECU over the past two seasons. The 6-3, 193-pound cornerback has good length for the outside cornerback spot, and like Grant, he could be a trade-back option for the Panthers in the first round. Tall, lanky corners are preferred by both Morgan and defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero. Revel broke out in 2023 with 13 pass breakups in 12 games. Last season, he produced two interceptions, despite being limited to just three games due to a torn ACL. While Revel isn’t likely to play or practice in Texas, his interviews during the process will be worth monitoring. Remember, the Panthers’ second-round pick, Jonathon Brooks, took a similar approach to his Shrine Game experience last year. 3. Zy Alexander, CB, LSU With Revel not likely to participate in drills, Alexander will be the top name among the cornerbacks on the field in Texas. The 6-2, 194-pound cornerback was productive during his time with the Tigers, collecting 11 pass breakups and four interceptions over the past two years. While PFF currently has him as the site’s 72nd-ranked prospect, a strong week of work could push Alexander into the second-round range. Alexander fits the mold of cornerback the Panthers would probably target on Day 2. 2025 Shrine Bowl: Notable edge rushers 1. Tyler Baron, DE, Miami Morgan’s alma mater will be well-represented in Frisco. Baron, though, is probably the top talent from the Hurricanes at the annual showcase. After spending his first four seasons at Tennessee, Baron transferred to Miami and collected 5.5 sacks in his final college campaign. During his five-year career, Baron produced 19 sacks and two forced fumbles. At 6-5 and 260 pounds, he could have the versatility to play defensive end or outside linebacker at the next level. 2. Que Robinson, OLB, Alabama Robinson (6-5, 241 lbs.) seems like a logical fit for Evero’s 3-4 front, even if the scheme is tweaked a bit in 2025. Robinson was a role-playing rotational pass rusher for much of his Crimson Tide career, and he had a breakout season in 2024 with four sacks. Robinson likely won’t be selected until Day 2, but he could be an intriguing long-term addition to an outside linebacker rotation that is currently headlined by Jadeveon Clowney and D.J. Wonnum. 2025 Shrine Bowl: Prospects with Carolina connections 1. Rocket Sanders, RB, South Carolina Sanders transferred from Arkansas to South Carolina this past season. During his four-year college career, he posted 3,111 rushing yards, 771 receiving yards and 33 total touchdowns. With so much productivity on his resume, a strong week at the Shrine Bowl could serve as a cherry on the cake of his evaluation. Sanders could be a logical addition to the Panthers’ roster on Day 3 if he’s available after the third round. 2. Zeek Biggers, IDL, Georgia Tech The Panthers are in search of people movers in the trenches. Biggers, a Salisbury native, could do just the trick as a late-round target. The 6-3, 363-pound lineman is boulder of a big guy, and he could look to clog holes between Derrick Brown and A’Shawn Robinson if picked by Carolina. 3. Aaron Smith, ILB, South Carolina State South Carolina State is known for producing strong front-seven talent in the NFL. Smith will look to add his name to that list. During his career, Smith collected 125 tackles, 5.5 sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble in four seasons of play. He could be a late-round option for inside linebacker depth for the Panthers. 4. Tonka Hemingway, DT, South Carolina Hemingway is another prospect from the Panthers’ player factory that is South Carolina. The 6-foot-3, 288-pound defender played in 61 games during his five seasons with the Gamecocks. During that span, he produced 112 tackles (17.5 for loss), 9.5 sacks, 11 pass breakups and two forced fumbles. He could be a late-round option for the Panthers to add to the trench group. Other prospects from Carolinas schools: Clemson RB Phil Mafah, South Carolina CB O’Donnell Fortune, UNC CB Aijah Huzzie, Clemson DB RJ Mickens, South Carolina P Kai Kroeger. More to watch: Keep an eye on the specialists With all three of the Panthers’ specialists set to hit free agency, Carolina will probably be paying attention to the kickers and punters in Texas. Bates will get to work with Miami kicker Andres Borregales and South Carolina punter Kai Kroeger during the week of work, and he will also coach against Pittsburgh kicker Ben Sauls and Oklahoma punter Luke Elzinga.

All I know is the roster is so bad, they need to come away with at least 3 day 1 starters. no more ‘a wishin and a hoping’ a player will be what they are not based on potential that roster can’t afford that luxury just my two cents…particularly when the defense isn’t just bad…it is the worst in NFL history in points allowed and Im Sure in the sieve category against the run still shocked they kept Evero

from Joe person [Dan] Morgan was successful in shoring up the interior offensive line last season. This year he needs to throw money at the interior defensive line, among other spots. Most of last year’s acquisitions on defense had ties to Evero — some of whom played well, others not so much. If the Panthers go that route again, keep an eye on Denver Broncos nose tackle D.J. Jones, who signed a three-year, $30 million deal in 2022 in Evero’s only season in Denver. According to Pro Football Focus, Jones’ run stop rate ranked fourth among interior defensive linemen. By comparison, the Panthers’ Shy Tuttle was 130th. Jones, who had a sack on Josh Allen in the wild-card round, could be a nice fit between Brown and A’Shawn Robinson, though not at the price of his Broncos deal." Joe Person, The Athletic The Panthers can make a significant statement by adding a genuine nose tackle this season. They haven't had one throughout Evero's tenure for one reason or another. It's something fans have been clamoring for. Shy Tuttle's manned the spot over the last two seasons. He never looked comfortable as the anchor and struggled to absorb blocks or hold his ground. That's a dangerous combination that opposing offensive lines had no trouble exploiting. Jones' arrival would change all that. He's a stout force on the interior and immensely difficult to move off the block. He's also worked with Evero previously during their time together on the Denver Broncos. This familiarity makes him a lively candidate considering how many old players he's brought to Carolina.

Yep what I heard too … luvu was offered a comparable deal to Washington but luvu wanted to play under Quinn …And apparently no one in Carolina knew what to do with Chinn I’d say they both made great choices to get the hell out of the poo show in charlotte they are one game away from a Super Bowl im not sure Evero is a good coach. Opinions vary

This was a topic discussed by Dane Brugler from The Athletic in his latest two-round mock draft. The respected analyst placed fortifying the defensive trenches at the forefront of Carolina's plans. 1. Georgia edge rusher Jalon Walker was the pick at No. 8, 2. followed by Texas' interior force Alfred Collins as their second choice.

RD 1, Pick 8: WR Tetairoa McMillan (Arizona) The Panthers can go in a lot of directions here with the eighth overall pick. If McMillan is off the board here, I'd expect they'll go defense. But for now, we're saying he'll slip right into the Panthers' lap. This would be the best-case scenario, in my opinion. Sure, Abdul Carter and Mason Graham would provide an immediate impact on defense, but McMillan would help take Bryce Young and this young offense to a whole new level. RD 2, Pick 53: LB Jack Sawyer (Ohio State) There are a few guys every year that you'll watch tape of and think, "Woah, that's a Dan Morgan guy." Jack Sawyer is one of two "Dan Morgan guys" that I have mocked to Carolina in this projection. He's tough as nails, plays bigger than his frame, and is a true leader. I'm not exactly sure where he would fit in Ejiro Evero's defense, but he'll find a home and be a playmaker wherever that spot may be. RD 3, Pick 73: S Andrew Mukuba (Texas) The Panthers have five safeties who will become free agents this offseason - Xavier Woods, Jordan Fuller, Nick Scott, Sam Franklin Jr., and Lonnie Johnson. They were part of a defense that gave up the most points in NFL history. I seriously doubt all five will be back. Carolina needs a younger option in the back end who can make plays on the ball. Mukuba finished near the top of the nation in interceptions (5) to go along with seven passes defended. Carolina has never drafted a Clemson Tiger, but Mukuba played the first three years of his career there, so does it count? RD 4, Pick 109: CB Cobee Bryant (Kansas) Jaycee Horn needs a little bit of help. Okay, actually, a lot of help. Bryant makes a ton of sense due to his ability to make plays on the ball and tackle in the open field. He picked off 13 passes over four seasons and had 22 passes defended. With Bryant on the field, opposing teams can't just throw the ball to the opposite side of Jaycee Horn all the time. They're going to have to challenge him. RD 4, Pick 113: C Jared Wilson (Georgia) There are a lot of questions at center for the Panthers this offseason. Do they bring Austin Corbett back? If they do, does he start? Do they bring Cade Mays or Brady Christensen back? If they do, do either of them have a chance to be the guy? I'd imagine at least one of the three makes a return to compete for the job, but Morgan will probably take a good, long look at drafting one on day three. Wilson, the Winston-Salem native, is our pick for now. RD 5, Pick 140: RB Cam Skattebo (Arizona State) Here is the other "Dan Morgan guy." Skattebo is exactly who you would think of if you tried to envision what Morgan wants in a running back. Chuba Hubbard is clearly RB1, but with Jonathon Brooks suffering another knee injury, Carolina is going to need another back or two to complement Chuba. Skattebo can be the short-yardage/goal line back, which can help take some big hits off of Hubbard. RD 5, Pick 148: DL Aeneas Peebles (Virginia Tech) Peebles is a little undersized at 6'2", 280 lbs, but he can make up for it with his athleticism. In his final season with the Hokies, he registered 31 tackles, seven tackles for loss, and three sacks RD 5, Pick 163: DL Anto Saka (Northwestern) Saka needs to continue filling out his frame but could be a depth option off the edge while contributing on special teams. RD 7, Pick 226: TE Gavin Bartholomew (Pitt) Ian Thomas, Tommy Tremble, and Feleipe Franks are all set to become free agents. There's a good chance only one returns, so they'll need to add some bodies to the room this offseason. Bartholomew proves during his collegiate career that he can be a receiving threat, catching 105 passes for 1,257 yards and 11 touchdowns.

I never thought id say this. Ever but Young would do better than Love in this game

Panthers signed 10 players to futures contracts: TE Jordan Matthews WR T.J. Luther RB Emani Bailey OLB Thomas Incoom OLB Kenny Dyson OL Brandon Walton OL Ja'Tyre Carter OL Andrew Raym TE Dominique Dafney WR Dax Milne

He wasn’t saying he could

Lol now…that …was cold blooded lol my Southern Momma was 4’ 11” sge said she was 5’ tall i didn't mess with her or correct her lol I came to well understand: “Though she be but little, she is fierce” from Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Maybe it will be the same for Young.

Some excerpts With echoes of Cam Newton, Bryce Young leaves no doubt that the Panthers are his team now BY SCOTT FOWLER [email protected] 2 days ago I know that was actually Bryce Young on the field Sunday, leading the Carolina Panthers to a 44-38 overtime win over Atlanta with a career-best performance in the season finale. I know it was Young accounting for five total touchdowns and outplaying everyone else in Atlanta. But what I kept seeing — and what I kept thinking about — was Cam Newton. For the very first time in his two years as the Panthers quarterback, Bryce reminded me of Cam so much Sunday it was eerie. It wasn’t just the five TDs, and the very Cam-esque ratio as to how he scored them (three pass, two rush). It was the absolute joy Young played with all afternoon. It was the first-down symbol he kept throwing up, just like Newton used to. It was the jump pass he threw to Jalen Coker on that overtime touchdown drive (although, to be fair, that was more of a Patrick Mahomes special). But most of all, it was Young’s 12-yard touchdown pass to Tommy Tremble on fourth-and-1, when he fired a strike and then turned around, his arms to the sky, before Tremble ever caught it in the end zone. That was Steph Curry/Cam Newton showmanship at its finest. That was Young, showing some personality on a team that desperately needs its best players to grab the city of Charlotte by the lapels and say, “Pay attention to us again! We’re fun! Give us another chance!” Newton would later say on X that the play was “nasty” (in a good way, of course) and “Boogie Approved.” Now let’s just get Young to work on a couple of things. First, can someone get Young to spice up his postgame news conferences? He’s unfailingly pleasant and unfailingly dull there, even after five-TD games. And secondly, starting with the first home game of the 2025 regular season, Bryce needs to re-institute Cam’s old tradition of handing all of his touchdown balls to a kid dressed in Carolina garb in the stands. That tradition needs to return, and Young now has the credentials and the pull to make it happen. As for the Cam Newton comparison, let me be clear as to its limited scope. Young has never had a season remotely close to the sort Newton posted, year after year, from 2011-18. The fewest touchdown passes Newton threw in any of those seasons was 18; the most Young has had was 15, in the season just concluded. ….. For now, though, the Panthers have to focus on getting a lot better. They just missed the playoffs for the seventh straight season. My daughter is a high school senior, and the Panthers have been irrelevant nationally since she was in elementary school. They’ve still got 99 problems. But Bryce Young? He’s no longer one of them.

from the observer Miami Dolphins. The Panthers will welcome one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL, led by Alabama alum Tua Tagovailoa and fast-as-a-cheetah Tyreek Hill, to Bank of America Stadium in 2025. The Dolphins are 8-8 this year and are 6-2 against the Panthers all-time. *Seattle Seahawks. This home matchup marks a full-circle moment for Dave Canales, who cut his NFL teeth under Pete Carroll in Seattle. Carolina is 4-9 all-time against the Seahawks and lost the last contest in the matchup in 2023. Seattle is 9-7 heading into Week 18. *Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are perennial playoff contenders and have notched seven winning seasons the past eight years. The Panthers are 12-10 against the Rams all-time. *Buffalo Bills. This year it was the Kansas City Chiefs. This year’s Super Bowl contenders making a trip to Bank of America Stadium? Josh Allen and the Bills. The Panthers are 2-6 all-time against the Buffalo franchise. New York Giants / Cowboys. The Panthers had a home game — technically — against the Giants this year. That was in Germany, of course. And the 2025 Giants (3-13 entering Week 18) will look a lot different than the ones the Panthers faced in Munich, what with a new quarterback coming and a refurbished offense. That is, of course, if the Panthers finish last in the NFC South. If not, they face the Cowboys (7-9) New England Patriots. Panthers fans get an up-close look at their homegrown NFL quarterback when Carolina travels to Foxborough to take on the Drake Maye-led Patriots. The Pats are 3-13 entering Week 18. New York Jets. The Jets are 4-12 this year and have an existential crisis to handle this offseason — with their situations at quarterback and their head coach not exactly stable. At least for now, it feels like a compelling matchup for the Panthers on the road. San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers seem much better than 6-10. And they will likely be in 2025 — particularly if former Panther Christian McCaffreystays healthy. The Panthers are 13-9 against San Francisco all-time. Chicago Bears / Green Bay Packers. The Panthers are either playing the last-placed Bears or the second-to-last-place Packers in 2025, two very different. The mostly that emerged from Soldier Field this season focused on how much the Bears had “fleeced” the Panthers in their blockbuster trade before the 2023 season. But with Bryce Young playing well and the Bears in free fall and with a new coach incoming, that perception might be different next season. Tennessee Titans / Jaguars. The Panthers are facing either the last-place team or the second-to-last place team in the AFC South in 2025, depending on Sunday’s results. (A Titans win and a Jaguars loss could knot them at 4-13 each, but the Jags have the edge with their divisional record and would thus earn the tiebreaker.) Arizona Cardinals. The Panthers are also facing the Cardinals, who are entering Week 18 with a 7-9 record.

The Panthers are not 1 WR away from being a playoff team they are a full defense away from being a playoff team this is not the time to throwing away draft capital…I don’t care who it is …ask Joe Burroughs about the importance of having a defense…the best receiver in the league…a great #2; plus a run game …and where are they ? …their happy asses are sitting home for once, stay where you are…take the best defensive players available build this team the right way and don’t look back …oh yeah, stay out of salary cap hell

My point of view it is really important about the character of who they bring in… is he a ‘teammate’ player or a ‘me’player i dont know a lot about Wilson as a teammate Divas can be problematic on a rebuilding team

Lol and the all time defense record for points allowed

7 points away from the all time record in nfl history for points allowed I’d say….its guaranteed shame damned shame

3rd and 20 TD

fug u Canales you cost your team because you are situationally stupid again plus 14 14 points away from the worst history in the history

fug you Dave Canales had to just call that time out then called the 3 worst play calls I’ve ever seen you have done this all year just let the damned clock at halftime expire
