Wouldn’t mind Yeldon being the 3rd RB. 

Who do you peg as #2 RB?  Chuba?

For now until seeing them live at camp, I have no sense of the pecking order / depth chart behind CMC.

Chuba, Bonnafon, Cannon?  Rhule has shown he isn't hesitant to play rookies...

A couple of comments from J. Alexander. I wish he'd be a little more specific about who exactly is doing what.

Feels like the Panthers' brass must have really laid down the law with the beat writers.  The amount of detail coming out of OTAs or minicamp is just tiny compared to other years.  (Including from Panthers' own media, it's not just that they're hogging content for themselves. )  Definitely increases the likelihood that I'll go down to Spartanburg for a few days to watch the team myself.

Top three or four right now are probably McCaffrey, Hubbard, Bonnafon, Cannon / Smith

(Brown and Clark are likely practice squad candidates or just camp fodder)

Far as I know, Cannon's the only one in the group who does returns. Bonnafon's durability is a bit of a question.

Yeah I caught that in the interview.  Not sure what to make of it.  He didn't say ONLY left tackle or the left tackle spot was his.   Just that he would play LT.   He also called himself a jack of all trades  and they discussed his experience at other positions.  Just another data point I guess.

Yeah I went back and rewatched that part.   He talks earlier about how nothing is given and you have to earn but then says he will play left tackle.

"Do you feel like you go to camp as the front runner at left tackle?"

"Yes sir."

Game on.  If Cam wins this spot for the whole season, great for him, and we will have cut an incredible deal for a servicable LT.

He also talked about Darnold and fresh starts and I think he views this as his fresh start.

Regardless of whether he ultimately wins the left tackle job or not, that's definitely the kind of attitude you want him to have.

The “official” (I think it was nfl.com) depth chart said Chuba going into minicamp/training camp.

David NewtonESPN Staff Writer 

Panthers LT Cam Erving revealed RT Taylor Moton's nickname is "Franchise'' after Moton received the franchise tag. Will he get a new long-term deal or play under the tag? "I don't know what's going to have with the deal situation,'' Moton said. "Right now I'm focused on being the best Taylor Moton I can be on the field. They can call me what they want. Franchise is definitely a nickname I've got to get a little used to.''

What is the strict filming limitations for the media about? I hope it isn't because the team is wanting to release more of their own social media content. I get it but I could live without some of the overdone fluff they have been putting out.

I think fluff is what you have to kind of expect from the team. They aren't going to put out stuff that is going to seed discord amongst the fans nor things that will give a lot away to opponents. 

Fluff should really be the expectation.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
