Panther Nation Podcast

Dave goes over the opening game against the Bears and some of the news of the week.

The cuts are official — so let's break down the Carolina Panthers' final 53-man roster, position group by position group. We go through every spot on the depth chart, cover the biggest surprises and snubs, and then break down the FULL practice squad

It's cutdown week — so we're predicting the Panthers' full 53-man roster, position group by position group. Who makes it? Who's the surprise cut? Who lands on the bubble? We go through every spot on the depth chart and lock in our final 53.

The Panthers laid an egg in Buffalo — the starting offense put up 12 yards and zero first downs in a 29-14 loss to the Bills. But there's a lot more to this story than the box score. We break down why the offense struggled (hint: it's the offensive line)

Football is back — and the Panthers opened the preseason with a walk-off win in Canton. We're recapping the Hall of Fame Game, including a debut nobody saw coming, before getting into the storyline that matters most all season: multiple beat reporters say Bryce Young is having his best training camp yet.

Dave discusses the latest news

Pads came on for the first time in 2026 and Day 4 of Panthers training camp gave us a little bit of everything: good injury news, a couple of new bumps, a 7-on-7 scuffle, and some genuinely exciting player development.

Training camp opened this week with tough news: veteran right tackle Taylor Moton was diagnosed with a blood clot in his lung in late June, is on blood thinners, and will start camp on the reserve/NFI list — expected to miss the start of the regular season.

Dave goes solo to discuss the latest Panthers news and other topics.

Training camp is almost here — so before the pads come on, we're going position by position and asking the one question that matters most at each spot. Is Bryce Young a franchise QB or a game manager? Who actually plays left tackle Week 1? Can this defense finally rush the passer? Is there ANY depth behind Devin Lloyd? We're breaking down the biggest question mark at every single position on the roster.

Training camp is almost here — and the first real 53-man roster projection is out. Who makes the cut? Who's the surprise name on the outside looking in? We're going position by position. Plus: ESPN handed Carolina a B for its offseason (and the move they "disliked" might surprise you), two Panthers landed on the trade block, and Tetairoa McMillan became the THIRD Panther on the NFL Top 100.

For the first time since 2023, the Carolina Panthers have a player on the NFL Top 100 — and it's Bryce Young at No. 98. Earned recognition for the NFC South title run, or a low-end reach? We're debating it.

The Carolina Panthers just extended Jalen Coker on a deal worth up to $35 million through 2029. On the surface, it's a payday for an undrafted breakout. But underneath, this might be Dan Morgan's most strategic move of the entire offseason — and it has massive implications for Tetairoa McMillan's next extension, Xavier Legette's future on the roster, and Chris Brazzell II's development timeline.

Bryce Young, Chris Brazzell II, and Xavier Legette went on a WILD offseason bonding trip — and one of them was on a horse. Yes, really. Mandatory minicamp opened today, and we got press conferences from Dave Canales, Bryce Young, AND Jaelan Phillips.

Myles Garrett is a Ram. A.J. Brown is a Patriot. Two superstars moved on the same day — and the NFL just got turned upside down. We're breaking down what BOTH trades mean for the Carolina Panthers' 2026 outlook, why Dan Morgan is staying quiet during the chaos, and how Jaelan Phillips is already looking like the best free-agent signing of the entire offseason at OTAs.

OTAs open for the Carolina Panthers — and the roster math is officially getting real. Which rookies are pushing for starting jobs? Which undrafted free agents are sneaking onto the 53? We're breaking down every position battle, the linebacker room question nobody's talking about, and the Dave Canales play-calling decision that could define the entire season.

A Panthers legend just compared Chris Brazzell II to Justin Jefferson. Tershawn Wharton is out indefinitely after neck surgery. Dan Morgan signed a TWO-SPORT national champion off the Saints' scrap heap. Lee Hunter got 94.4% of his rookie deal guaranteed. AND Dave Canales just brought his personal mentor onto the coaching staff.

The Carolina Panthers' 2026 season just got real. The NFL schedule release drops this week and Sharp Football's analysis already has Carolina with the 3rd-HARDEST schedule in the entire league. Plus, Bryce Young's fifth-year option was officially picked up for $25.9 million guaranteed in 2027, the cap is tight, rookie minicamp opens this Friday, and Bleacher Report just put a target on this team's back with two of the worst rankings I've seen all offseason.

The Carolina Panthers had one of the most coherent NFL Drafts of the Dan Morgan era — and most national media completely missed it. In this episode of Panther Nation Podcast, we break down every single 2026 draft pick: who they are, who they compare to, where they fit in the scheme, and what their ceiling looks like.

We are officially in the "Go-Home" stretch before the 2026 NFL Draft. Tonight, we break down the most important takeaways from this week’s massive interviews with Bryce Young, Tetairoa McMillan, and Derrick Brown. Plus, we dive into the "Duck-themed dilemma" at Pick #19 and the late-breaking rumors surrounding an Indiana WR contingency plan.
