Panthers will have joint practice with Cleveland


Recommended Posts

The Carolina Panthers will host a joint training camp practice for the third consecutive summer. The franchise, entering its 31st season, will host the Cleveland Browns in Charlotte for a single joint-practice session ahead of Week 1 of the preseason

The Panthers will host two home preseason games this summer.

Canales, who plans to play the Panthers’ starters during this upcoming preseason, has a relationship with Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski. Both head coaches wanted to create a competitive simulation without risking heavy exhibition workloads for their top performers.

 

'we both plan on playing our guys in the preseason. “And so we said, ‘If we’re not going to play them the whole game, why don’t we practice a couple days before and get a little bit more work out of it, knowing the rest of the group is going to finish out that game?’

“We took a big swing and miss with Deshaun. We thought we had the quarterback, we didn’t and we gave up a lot of draft picks to get him. So we’ve got to dig ourselves out of that hole. [The trade] was an entire organization decision and it ends with Dee and I, so hold us accountable,” Haslam said, via Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.

Maybe instead of the Jets or Browns aim for a team that isn't a perpetual failure too?

These connections stink. Maybe check out what well run franchises are up to and not the HC who is still employed because Watson and his trade were a gaint barrier to any decent hire? Canales wants to do what the guy with 3 wins last year is interested in. Yikes

The one bullet Tepper did manage to dodge.

He got outbid, period. Fortunately there is at least one franchise more stupid than us.  It wasn't for a lack of trying on Tepper's behalf.  If the Browns would have bailed at the last second, Watson would be our problem.

Somewhat ironic that Tampa is making playoff runs (albeit in a weak division) while Cleveland has to dig itself out of a hole.  Baker Mayfield wasn't the problem in Cleveland.

He wasn't the problem in Carolina either.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
