Carolina Panthers assistant coach Bruce DeHaven will to relinquish his role as special teams coordinator and step into an advisory position as he continues his battle with cancer.

DeHaven, 67, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in the spring of 2015 and learned a short time later it had spread to his back. DeHaven left the team Sunday and will resume treatments in his offseason home of Buffalo, according to sources.

Thomas McGaughey, hired in February as the Panthers’ special teams assistant, will take over for DeHaven. Former Panthers and Giants linebacker Chase Blackburn, in his first year as a special teams intern, will assist McGaughey.

DeHaven is will serve as an advisor for the special teams.

This is almost like our 2003 run. We were motivated by Mills and Fields and made it all the way to the Super Bowl. This year is SB 51 (Mills' old number btw) and here we are again. DeHaven's fighting spirit will help fuel this team in 2016. #Pound4DeHaven

      It’s time to discuss DANimal Morgan as our GM

      He’s responsible for two drafts classes. The first was one of the worst drafts I’ve ever seem. The second one is showing a ton of promise. I’m somewhere between skeptical and hopeful on Morgan.

      I'm a big fan of Dan. His ability to find productive players deep in the draft will pay off.  I'm going to give him 1.5 draft classes right now, because I do think it's a little unfair to evaluate his first year when he got the job in January, especially when we went into that draft not having a first round pick.  XL and Brooks are still big time TBD players. Both still have incredibly high ceilings, but both have also given us legitimate reasons to have a lot of pause. Trevin Wallace, Chau Smith Wade and Jatavion Sanders have IMO outplayed their draft position early in their careers. That's a great thing. He also got Coker and Demani Richardson as UDFAs that year. Given the situation we were in, I really don't mind the gamble on the high ceiling guys. Still may work out, still may not, but if you made a checklist of ideal situation for an NFL GM to walk into, ours was near the bottom of that list.  Every single 2025 pick is contributing in some way. That typically doesn't happen. I am absolutely blown away by this draft class 6 games in. Even the best GM's miss on occasion, and we can't expect Dan to be 100% on drafts moving forward. Ryan Fitzgerald was an excellent find as well.  Comparing our last two drafts to the previous few is pretty shocking. Can you imagine this season without our Rookies? It would not be good. Additionally, this roster only has 6 players with more than 6 years of experience, and two of those are specialist.  The next step is equally important, and still very much TBD. We have to avoid Cap Chaos.
