In 2024, the Carolina Panthers faced the worst defensive season in franchise history, marking one of the most challenging years defensively in modern NFL history. A significant factor in this struggle was the performance of the defensive line throughout the season. Pro Bowl defensive tackle Derrick Brown was lost for the season after Week 1, and the players expected to fill his role did not meet expectations. However, there was a silver lining in A'Shawn Robinson, who might earn another chance to start in 2025. Julian Council will review the defensive line's performance in 2025.As free agency and the draft approach, the Panthers will likely focus on strengthening their defensive line. Should they pursue a veteran player or prioritize the future by drafting a promising prospect?Shy Tuttle was a notable free agent signing for Carolina two years ago, but he has not lived up to expectations as a starting nose tackle. Is Tuttle likely to be let go this offseason?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedInLinkedIn Jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to, faster.

On Monday, former NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett informed the Cleveland Browns of his desire to be traded in his pursuit of a Super Bowl victory. Later that week, the Los Angeles Rams notified former NFL Offensive Player of the Year Cooper Kupp that they would be looking to trade him away from LA this offseason.The Carolina Panthers find themselves in desperate need of a dynamic edge rusher, while also looking to enhance their receiving corps.

The Carolina Panthers offense required significant improvements during the 2024 offseason, and nearly a year later, it's evident that general manager Dan Morgan successfully built a capable unit around second-year quarterback Bryce Young. As the new offseason approaches, should Morgan focus on maximizing Young’s talent after his impressive turnaround in the season's second half?While the Panthers may have resolved their quarterback situation heading into free agency, there are still numerous questions about the rest of the offense. Will Carolina pursue a top-tier wide receiver to support Young this offseason? How will the center position be addressed? Can the Panthers retain Taylor Moton while also reducing his cap hit?What should the early expectations be for the Panthers offense as the NFL calendar moves into its roster-building phase? Julian Council provides insights into the current state of the Carolina Panthers offense ahead of free agency.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Carolina Panthers' offensive line improvement in 2024 is primarily due to the roster changes made during the offseason aimed at enhancing the overall talent and depth in the interior offensive line, specifically at guard and center. However, the contributions of the tackles in 2024 cannot be overlooked, as Ickey Ekwonu experienced a bounce-back season at left tackle, while Taylor Moton remained steady at right tackle despite missing games for the first time in his Panthers career. Julian reflects on how the tackles performed last season.After three consecutive offseasons of restructuring the contract extension that Moton signed in the summer of 2021, the veteran right tackle is set to enter the new league year with the highest cap hit on the team, standing at $31,347,918. Considering the Panthers only have about $20 million in salary cap space, Moton's contract could be a hindrance to improving the roster. How should the Panthers navigate Moton's contract situation?The Panthers have already begun addressing the tackle position this offseason by signing Brandon Walton to a futures contract in January, but how will they manage the rest of the offseason in that area? Is exercising the fifth-year option on Ickey Ekwonu an obvious choice? Will Yosh Nijman become a salary cap casualty? Is it possible that Carolina looks to find Moton's replacement in the draft?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! BetterhelpDiscover your relationship “green flags” with BetterHelp.

The Carolina Panthers aimed to strengthen the offensive line during the 2024 offseason and demonstrated their commitment to enhancing the talent within the interior by signing Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis to a combined $153 million on the first day of the legal negotiating period. In 2024, both Hunt and Lewis proved to be valuable investments, while second-year guard Chandler Zavala impressed with his development from season to season. Julian Council reviews the performance of the Panthers' guards in 2024.One of the biggest roster questions for the Panthers this offseason is who will start at center in 2025. Three players started at center in 2024, with Austin Corbett initially taking the role for the first five weeks of the season before suffering a season-ending bicep tear. This was followed by Brady Christensen for a few weeks before Cade Mays took over as the starter to finish out the season. Julian shares his thoughts on what the Panthers should do at center this offseason. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! BetterhelpDiscover your relationship “green flags” with BetterHelp.

Since Greg Olsen's departure, the Carolina Panthers have consistently ranked among the bottom of the NFL in both tight end usage and production. However, with the selection of Ja'Tavion Sanders and his promising rookie season, it seems that Carolina has finally found Olsen's replacement five years after he left the team. A significant factor in Sanders' emergence in 2024 was the injury struggles of Tommy Tremble and Ian Thomas. Julian Council reflects on the seasons of the Panthers' tight ends.How will the Panthers address the tight end position this offseason? Is this the end of the line for Ian Thomas in Carolina? Will Tommy Tremble be given an extension? What free agent options might be available to the Panthers?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Carolina Panthers needed better wide receiver play in 2024, following a year in which the unit ranked among the worst in the NFL. The Panthers successfully improved as Adam Thielen continued to demonstrate his youth after more than a decade in the league; two rookies—Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker—showed promise, and David Moore had his best season in several years. While the Panthers saw those players perform, they missed out on Diontae Johnson as their potential number one receiver. Julian Council reflects on the season that was for the Panthers' wide receiver unit.The Panthers certainly have a stronger wide receiver roster heading into the 2025 offseason than they did in 2024, but do they have a true No. 1 receiver? Will the Panthers look to add one this offseason, especially since Tee Higgins is set to be a free agent? Could a trade for Garrett Wilson be a possibility?How will the Panthers approach the position in free agency? Is David Moore likely to re-sign?

2024 was a standout year for Chuba Hubbard as he set career highs in rushing attempts (250) and rushing yards (1,195) while securing a four-year, $33.2 million contract extension, solidifying his status as a Top 10 RB in the NFL. While Hubbard's future is secure heading into the offseason, questions arise regarding Jonathon Brooks after he re-tore the ACL in his right knee after playing only three games in his rookie season. Julian Council reflects on the Carolina Panthers running backs' 2024 seasons.One potential beneficiary of Brooks missing more time in 2025 is Miles Sanders, who has not met expectations during his two seasons in Carolina but has two years left on his contract. The Panthers might choose to cut Sanders to free up salary cap space, but would the team be better off bringing Sanders back on a restructured salary to serve as Hubbard's backup once again?If Carolina decides to part ways with Sanders this offseason, what other veteran options might make sense for Dave Canales' offense?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The 2024 season was a rollercoaster ride for the Carolina Panthers' quarterback position. The Panthers transitioned from benching Bryce Young to Dave Canales continuously supporting Andy Dalton, despite Dalton's performance declining and the team continuing to lose. Young eventually regained his starting role due to Dalton’s injury, claiming the position for the remainder of the year and solidifying himself as the starter for 2025. Julian Council reflects on how the Panthers' quarterbacks performed in 2024.Andy Dalton is set to become a free agent and will turn 38 during the 2025 season. Should Dalton return for his third year behind Young, or should the Panthers consider a younger backup option? If Carolina decides to part ways with Dalton, who are the best available options on the open market in March?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Carolina Panthers are just over a month and a half away from the start of the 2025 NFL new league year. However, before they reach that date on March 13, when free agency officially begins, they will need to decide what to do with their 27 pending free agents. Who should stay, and who should go? Julian Council evaluates whether Andy Dalton should return as Bryce Young's backup at quarterback, which of the three players who started at center for Carolina this season will return, as well as how the free agent secondary and specialists will unfold.

Bryce Young's performance in the second half of the 2024 regular season marked significant progress for the Carolina Panthers organization, and he is set to start again in 2025. According to Pro Football Focus, Young ranked as the sixth highest-graded quarterback in the NFL from Week 9 until the end of the regular season. Given how Young concluded the season and considering that most elite quarterback talent in the NFL comes from the AFC—such as Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow—can Young become a top 5 quarterback in the NFC by 2025?Dan Morgan made two calculated risks during his first draft as the Panthers' GM. First, he leveraged his assets to trade into the first round to select Xavier Legette, despite the South Carolina star wide receiver having only one standout season on tape. Then, in the second round, Morgan traded up again to pick Jonathon Brooks, who was recovering from a torn ACL. Did Morgan make mistakes in drafting Legette and Brooks, or is it too early to draw any conclusions about each prospect?The Panthers have maintained the same uniforms throughout their 30 years of existence. Will they finally make a change this offseason?Julian Council addresses these questions, along with others from listeners, in the Weekly Friday Mailbag.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!TalkspaceAs a listener of this podcast, you’ll get $80 off your first month with Talkspace when you go to Talkspace.com/LOCKEDONNFL and enter promo code SPACE80.

Will Dave Canales end up being the head coach who gives a eulogy for David Tepper at his funeral? That was the hope of the Carolina Panthers owner when he set out to find a new leader for the franchise last January. After benching Bryce Young two weeks into the season and starting with a rocky 1-7 record, Canales and Young helped turn things around as the Panthers finished 4-5 in the second half of the season, signaling that things might finally be improving in Carolina.Julian Council examines what Canales got right and wrong in his first season as the Panthers' head coach and whether Tepper has finally found the coach who will lead the franchise to sustained success.

The Carolina Panthers entered Day 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft without a first-round pick due to trading up for the number one pick the previous year. However, Panthers GM Dan Morgan managed to secure a selection that night by calling the Buffalo Bills and trading up to take South Carolina WR Xavier Legette in the first round. While Legette potentially represents the Panthers' future WR1, his rookie year, although promising, did not measure up to the other rookie WRs taken in the first round or a few selected immediately after him. Did Morgan make a mistake in taking Legette?The Panthers continued their quest for offensive weapons on Day 2 of the NFL Draft, trading back in the second round before later trading up to select Texas RB Jonathon Brooks. The Panthers chose Brooks knowing he was coming off a torn ACL. Unfortunately for Brooks and the Panthers, he wouldn't debut until Week 12 and then would re-tear the ACL in his right knee three weeks later, ending his season and raising questions about his long-term future with the organization. Was drafting Brooks also a misstep by Morgan?The Panthers weren't finished moving around the draft board on that Friday evening in Detroit, as Carolina later traded back with the New York Jets to select Kentucky linebacker Trevin Wallace, who has positioned himself to start in 2025. The trade also yielded a fifth-round pick, which became Chau Smith-Wade, who, like Wallace, is also projected to start on the Panthers' defense in 2025. Was this unassuming trade in the third round the best one Morgan made during the draft?Morgan made one last trade before the deadline, sending Jonathon Mingo and a seventh-round pick to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a fourth-round pick. Mingo had been a second-round pick the previous year but was clearly in need of a fresh start. Was this the best trade decision Morgan made during his first year as GM?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Turbo TaxReady for stress-free taxes and the most money back, guaranteed?
