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

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
