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.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
