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.

      Bryce Young Game Winning Drives

      By KaseKlosed · Posted

      Bryce Young has recorded 4 game-winning drives through nine weeks, leading the Carolina Panthers to crucial victories in tight contests. The 12-play, 58-yard clock-killer versus the Packers in Week 9 (16-13 upset). This pace positions him as the team's most clutch performer in years, with a 68.4% success rate on go-ahead drivesalready surpassing many franchise benchmarks early in his career.   Young's early 2025 surge (top-5 league-wide in clutch EPA at 0.28 per dropback) not only outstrips the debuts of Newton (2 in 2011) and Delhomme (1 in 2003) but hints at him climbing this list quickly if the Panthers sustain their wildcard hunt. Data underscores his growth: no other Panther QB hit 4 GWDs before Week 10 in a season.   The energy fans pour into the stadium directly shapes Bryce Young’s performance positive support has been shown to elevate his fourth-quarter efficiency by 12%, strengthening team cohesion and execution under pressure. Criticizing or booing the starting quarterback fractures morale, disrupts focus, and undermines the very resilience needed in clutch moments. When fans stand firmly behind their QB and team, they become a true home-field advantage, amplifying performance and accelerating the path to sustained success. Now are you a Carolina Panther fan or a Panther hater?

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By frankw · Posted

      Bryce would have extended some plays scrambling with his legs but then again he also has a high number of fumbles so you never know what you're going to get and the way the Bills were getting after Andy (sacked 7 times) it stands to reason Bryce would have been under duress often. What exactly do you want here? I mean I'm going to go by the gameplan I saw after Bryce turned the ball over against GB. Clearly Dave Canales was deliberately trying to limit the opportunities for him to make a catastrophic mistake. And didn't Micah Parsons log zero QB pressures? So with that in mind if you are asking for anyone to argue our offense with Bryce would have had much if any success against that opportunistic motivated Bills defense while we were also splitting carries between Rico and Chuba who had the majority of them which ended up being a situation resulting in a weeks worth of scathing criticism and deservedly so then I'm going to just have to say we can agree to disagree.
