Panthers coach Matt Rhule on why he is beginning camp with 90 players instead of 80: “We had worked hard to take it to 90 guys we wanted to go camp with. Those guys worked hard all offseason. The rules say we can go down to 80 at any time (till Aug. 16). We thought we'd start off at 90 and see how things progressed.”

Matt Rhule still hasn't met all of his players yet. Asked if he's at a disadvantage because he hasn't had the practices and other benefits a new coach would get because of the pandemic, Rhule said: “Yes. It's less than ideal. Even as we make decisions now we're making them off zoom meetings. We all do the best we can with it and take it as a challenge.''

Panthers coach Matt Rhule says all of his players are wearing masks in the building, but some – including some coaches – are wearing full shields in practice. One advantage of the shield, he said, you can see the player's or coach's face. “All have been really good about covering,'' Rhule said.

Matt Rhule likes what he's seen so far in the relationship between quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and offensive coordinator Joe Brady as they reunite from their year together in New Orleans in 2018. “Teddy knows [the offense] so well. He and Joe have a great relationship, a football relationship where they talk about level 3 and level 4 coaching things. They're off to a great start.''

Matt Rhule offered some insight onto what has been done to Bank of America Stadium to make it safer. There are outdoor weight rooms, the media room has been turned into a recovery room, each player has a suite for their virtual meetings. Everyone also wears contact tracers so if you're around somebody for more than 10 minutes it alerts you by turning red.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
