With the Super Bowl officially in the books, the next item on the NFL's agenda will be the NFL Combine, followed by free agency, once the new league year begins in March. After a 2-15 season, the Panthers desperately need upgrading their roster if they want to compete in 2024. In today's NFL, teams can change overnight with their ability to sign players, but Carolina will be handicapped by having just $31 million in cap space and having to resign some of their players, including Brian Burns and Frankie Luvu.
Thursday night, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced their class for the 2024 ceremony which will take place in Canton later this summer. Headlining the group was the Panthers first-ever drafted player for the team to go in, defensive lineman Julius Peppers, who was in his first year on the ballot. While that was […]
Julius Peppers found out earlier this year that he would be heading to the College Football Hall of Fame and things got a little bit sweeter on Thursday night. In his first season on the Pro Football Hall of Fame ballot, he has been selected to be part of the newest class that will be […]
For the second time in the last month, former Panthers and Tar Heel defensive lineman Julius Peppers found out that he will be heading to a hall of fame. In his first season on the ballot, Peppers was selected for the Pro Football Hall of Fame when the announcement was made at the NFL Honors […]
The Carolina Panthers choice to promote Dan Morgan to their GM role this offseason was one that was met with some push back. Many fans and media personalities didn’t understand why the team would go in-house to replace Scott Fitterer after the type of season that the team had with their first real roster after […]
The Carolina Panthers head coaching vacancy wasn’t exactly seen as the most attractive in the league. Owner David Tepper was the main reason that most national folks pointed to this as the worst job in the league this offseason after reports during the season of his tampering within the organization. Those reports didn’t deter the […]
Charlotte's 8-1 start to conference play is as big a surprise as anything we've seen in local or national college basketball this season, and tonight they put that record on the line at South Florida, who is also 8-1 in the AAC. Unlike FAU or Memphis, the only way Charlotte will hear their name called on Selection Sunday is if they win the AAC Tournament next month after a slow start in non-conference play eliminated any chance at being an at-large bid. A win tonight would further help their chances of being the #1 seed in that event, making the path easier to winning three games in three days.
Last week, the Panthers introduced the city of Charlotte to both its new HC Dave Canales as well as the new President of Football Ops and GM Dan Morgan. The latter is already very familiar to the Queen City having played LB for the team from 2001-2007. The new GM of the Panthers joined Kyle […]
Last summer, former 49ers head coach, Ron Sanchez resigned from his position as head coach, to return to Virginia as an assistant. Sanchez, who was going to enter the 2023-24 season on the hot seat, didn't wait to be fired, but in the process left the Charlotte program in disarray. There is never a good time to walk out on your program, and the kids you recruited, but in today's era, of the transfer portal, along with NIL, it put the future of the program in even further danger.
An Adam Vinatieri 41-yard field goal was all that stood in the way of the Carolina Panthers having a chance to go to overtime and win their first Super Bowl just eight years into their existence as a franchise. Now, 20 years later, the run is what people remember more than the heartbreak they felt […]
