Players who were on the 2015 roster that are still connected to the Panthers as of this moment...

DE Mario Addison (free agent)
S Tre Boston (free agent)
K Graham Gano
LS J.J. Jansen
DT Kyle Love (free agent)
QB Cam Newton
DT Kawann Short
LB Shaq Thompson
T Darryl Williams (free agent)

A few look to be safe (Thompson obviously, probably Short) but overall the list is pretty likely to get shorter within the next few weeks.

I don't think anybody will be too surprised at this point if none of the free agents are back. Of course there's the Newton question, and others are of somewhat indefinite status (notably Gano).

So how many will still be around come September?

Shaq is already signed, sealed and delivered. Beyond that: JJ Jansen is a lock. Probably Tre Boston will be back and a very slight chance for Mario. KK may be back just because he's under contract and we may well pick up a DT in the first round.

Cam... there's so much out there hanging over the decision-making process. Is he healthy, is he capable, is he back to SuperCam? Really, who knows?

I think Cam will flash, have some highlight reel moments, but his body has changed now.  He is still a Ferrari, just one with bondo and high mileage that has spent a lot of time in the shop lately.  Is he worth the payments?  Are you tired of being left on the side of the road for the past 2 years as AAA bails you out?  Or do you think this mechanic fixed our Ferrari so that it will be able to reach the finish line for the first time in years?

That Super Bowl roster was never built for the long term. Most of those starters from that year are out of the league and the few that are still in the league are past their prime. 

It was the most amazing year in our franchise history, but now is just a distant memory.

That year the stars aligned. Everyone hit their prime that season.

When I was a kid, my Dad had a mid-1960s Jaguar XKE. Beautiful car -- convertible, British racing green, fast as anything on the road, handled like a dream.

Went through more oil than gas, spending more time in the shop than on the roads. 

I still love that car in memory, but in reality, I understand why he just threw up his hands and sold it to the first sucker who'd buy it.

And you can see the parallels to Cam.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
