Graham Gano has surgery. Will he be a Panther next year?

Yeah I know...who cares about a kicker at this time of the year, but it is raining outside, so why not discuss our kicking situation while drinking your liquor/coffee combo. Will he be back next year? That contract does not make it easy to trade/release without eating a lot of dead money (for a kicker anyway). Do we trade Slye? Also remember that time we traded a 4th round pick for a punter? Cringe worthy.

Unlikely. Slye hasn't been better but it is hard to justify Gano's contract coming off that kind of surgery.

We have so many holes going into next season it’s unreal. We have so many free agents, on top of questionable starters who are under contract. Next year could be very very ugly.

Common belief is that decision will be made by a new staff that has no ties to him.

The new staff will have an insane amount of  decisions to make. I hope Tepper pulls out the check book because they are going to earn every penny with the amount of free agent/vets that they have to decide on

Oh I think it's going to be a bloodbath if we don't bring back Cam. That may seem like an odd statement to make but if we opt to roll with Allen, Grier or a drafted QB.....it will be full rebuild mode. 

It may be the toughest offseason Panthers fans have seen in a long time.

Tepper sounds like he might be prepared to embrace that.

Big reason why I don't think it's enough to just move on from Ron Rivera.

If we're going to start a major rebuild, I definitely don't want to see Marty Hurney running it.

    • Well, everyone is a critic.  not much meat on the bone here in analysis but if the team needs motivation … lol   I have also heard a lot of talking head or two say that ‘Young is not in the same class as most of these teams and that in 12 of the 17 games he is the lesser QB   BR write up below  2025 record: 8-9 Last season, the Carolina Panthers made the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They won the division. Bryce Young made strides, throwing for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 63.6 percent completion rate. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan won the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In free agency, the Panthers signed edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd to bolster their middling defense. Carolina can win with complementary football if the offense continues to trend in the right direction. In 2026, Carolina will play the AFC North and NFC North on a first-place schedule, which includes matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and the Seattle Seahawks. The club will have a much tougher 17-game slate than it had last year, which may lead to regression. The Panthers aren't on the same level as the league's top teams. We'll see the gap between them and division-winning clubs from the previous season. 2026 projection: 6-11  
    • If someone key is hurt and your bye week helps you by not forcing you to play without them, it is at a good time.  No way to know about that ahead of time.   I would concede that with 17 games and let’s say you are playoff bound, you would love to have it late  
    • Hate it for him personally and hope he recovers well. But honestly, reaching an injury settlement and moving on would probably be a best case scenario for the Panthers. This signing always felt like a desperate knee-jerk reaction to losing out on Milton Williams. Williams was a logical scheme fit while Wharton just wasn't. He's best used as a rotational interior pass rushing specialist in an even front. He's way too small to play the nose in a 3-4 and he lacks the length and juice to play the end. Healthy he's a nice roster piece in the right scheme at the right price but we overpaid him to play him in the wrong scheme. The signing just never made any sense to me and I said so at the time.
