(By David Scott, [email protected]) There's a reason a group of Carolina Panthers players spent Thursday morning sweating in the July heat on Ardrey Kell High's football field ndash; rather than relaxing as the beginning of the team's training camp looms.p/ldquo;If you want a job in the fall,rdquo; says safety Chris Harris, ldquo;you can't relax in the summer.rdquo;p/Harris, sweating in a long-sleeve T-shirt after the voluntary workout ends, is a vocal part of the group that worked out with Charlotte athletic trainer Jeremy Boone most weekday mornings since early June.p/Boone puts the players through the kind of grueling conditioning and agility drills ndash; wind sprints, running around cones, pushing blocking sleds ndash; they'll face when training camp opens Monday in Spartanburg.p/But he also keeps it light.p/Thursday's workout, which concludes with a spirited game of Ultimate Frisbee, also includes a ldquo;rock-paper-scissorsrdquo; contest in which the loser chases down the winner and tags him. p/As the summer wore on, the Panthers group included at various times: Harris, defensive end Tyler Brayton, fullback Brad Hoover, running back DeAngelo Williams, quarterback Matt Moore, receiver Ryne Robinson, linebackers Thomas Davis and James Anderson and defensive tackle Damione Lewis. Appalachian State tight end Ben Jorden (who played at Charlotte Latin) also trained with the pros. p/ldquo;The two weeks before training camp is the most important time of the season,rdquo; says Williams, who finished third in the NFL in rushing last season with 1,515 yards. ldquo;It lets you know where you are. I'm finding out what I can do and what I can't do.p/ldquo;Hopefully I have more can-do's than can't-do's.rdquo;p/The training session doesn't reveal much about the players' conditioning, except that they all come through it with ease. And Robinson looks lithe and agile after recovering from the knee injury that doomed his 2008 season.p/The 75-minute workout concludes. Spartanburg beckons.p/Brayton gets in one final stretch.p/ldquo;Summer's over,rdquo; he says.

All of this real Panthers news has me freaking out a little bit. I'm too used to the rumor and speculation from the summer of doom.

      Why trading up in 2026 is a bad idea.

      By Basbear · Posted

      It puts more pressure on being right, I always feel trading back is the move 97/100 times. There are times where you fall in love and if that guy is only 7 spots away and the cost is only a 6th or pick swap......why not?? so long the cost is low, Im more willing to do so.  Still one of the best teams at trading back and they torn apart the Panthers on those trades; Pats. You still have to pick the players, that's what happens. In theory you should also add picks, but it does get to point of eight 3rd rounders or two late 1st and a 2nd?? I mean every draft is different, so the talent maybe not fall off a cliff after pick 50. Case by case deal, but vastly I prefer to trade back.....another curve if you trade back and the scouts/coaches have not planned for it. You have to be ready and know the spot you are trading too (everyone). Just like trading out of 1st round two weeks before the draft, that hurts your team as they have been focused on pick 10 and now its wait until pick 42....

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Basbear · Posted

      IDK, just I know these mock drafts are time "wasters" and even more before FA cause that does change a huge portion of the needs. I think Panthers are in on Lloyd, but just like Milton Williams if the numbers get too high they will change course and still sign one of the lesser ILB. I've also seen reports Panthers want boom back as well, but as STer/backup.   Personally Ive put Wallance in the Ickey, Brooks zone....... Acting like he's not on the team and if he shows out during OTAs, mini, and TC GREEEAT!!! I feel Panthers need to sign at least one and draft 1-2....hell even add another Bam-like UDFA in the UD pool too. Trade is on the table, there have been many trades than past years......   Given the team history, the LB corp is saddest ever. Still the league isnt paying ILB and Panthers finally got with that trend. I do feel Evero wants a IBL that can blitz and everyone wants one able to pass cover.  I feel no matter what, Panthers will draft one in the mid rounds and add a couple in the UDFA class.
