In 2024, the Carolina Panthers defense had a disastrous season, infamously setting an NFL record for the worst scoring defense. Despite these poor performance numbers, the Panthers' defensive coordinator is set to return for a third season with the team.

The question remains: Can Dan Morgan and Brandt Tillis successfully rebuild the Panthers' defense in just one offseason?As the Panthers look ahead, three major questions loom over the team this offseason. According to Julian Council, the primary concerns are whether the Panthers will extend Jaycee Horn's contract, whether they will add help on the EDGE rusher front, and how they will address their ability to stop the run in 2025?What should the early expectations be for the Panthers' defense leading up to the free agency period?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!FanDuelRight now, new FanDuel customers can get ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS in Bonus Bets if your first FIVE DOLLAR bet wins!Download the app or head to FANDUEL.COM to get started.

Cam Newton stirred controversy in Panthers Nation earlier this week when he stated in a podcast that when he arrived in Carolina as the No. 1 overall pick, he entered a "locker room of losers."

This isn't the first time Newton has been critical of the organization recently, prompting Panthers fans to wonder about the state of his relationship with the team.The Panthers are one of four teams—alongside the Atlanta Falcons, Tennessee Titans, and Seattle Seahawks—eligible to be featured on HBO's *Hard Knocks* this season. Given Bryce Young's impressive turnaround, are the Panthers the most compelling option among these teams?Instead of selecting a player with the eighth overall pick in the NFL Draft, should the Panthers consider trading back to address more needs within the top 100 picks?Julian Council addresses these listener questions in this week's edition of the Weekly Friday Mailbag.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedInLinkedIn Jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to, faster.

If they do, where will he rank among the highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL?Mike Jackson emerged as one of the best acquisitions for the Panthers in 2024, ranking among the league's best with 17 pass deflections and providing stability opposite Horn by playing 99% of the defensive snaps during the season. Will the Panthers re-sign Jackson to a long-term deal this offseason?While Horn will return as a starter at one of the outside cornerback spots, second-year player Chau Smith-Wade should resume starting full-time in the slot.

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.

However, there was a silver lining in A'Shawn Robinson, who might earn another chance to start in 2025.

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? Will the Panthers choose to be frugal rather than spend big at the position?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

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?

The Carolina Panthers were in desperate need of a wide receiver during the 2024 offseason. This need led them to trade cornerback Donte Jackson along with a sixth-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for Diontae Johnson and a seventh-round pick. What followed was a brief stint in Carolina, but it also answered the question of who would start opposite Jaycee Horn at cornerback in the coming seasons. Julian Council revisits the trades that brought Diontae Johnson to and from Carolina, as well as the true value the Panthers gained from making that deal nearly a year ago.

In one of his first moves as the general manager of the Carolina Panthers, Dan Morgan traded star edge rusher Brian Burns to the New York Giants. In return, the Panthers received a second-round pick and two fifth-round picks. At the time, the compensation seemed insufficient for a player of Burns' caliber; however, what Morgan has accomplished with those picks since parting ways with Burns is crucial for the Panthers' future. Julian Council reflects on the trade of Burns, examining which aspects appear more favorable today and whether it has proved to be the right decision for the organization.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Turbo TaxReady for stress-free taxes and the most money back, guaranteed?

The Carolina Panthers are coming off a 5-12 season in Dave Canales' first year as head coach and Dan Morgan's first year as general manager. More importantly, the Panthers have successfully begun to develop Bryce Young into the franchise quarterback they hoped he would become when they selected him first overall two years ago. With the quarterback position no longer a major concern for the Panthers, this has freed Morgan and Canales to address other needs on the roster in order to build around Young. Julian Council explains why the upcoming offseason may be the most crucial in franchise history.Morgan met with the Charlotte media on Monday afternoon to reflect on his first season as the team's general manager. During that press conference, he hinted at his plans for Jaycee Horn and Ickey Ekwonu's futures in Carolina. Could both players sign extensions this offseason?How far are the Panthers from contending? Unlike the AFC West, where Patrick Mahomes reigns supreme, or the AFC East, where Josh Allen has taken the place of Tom Brady as the superstar quarterback in the division, the Panthers do not have to face that level of talent in the NFC South.

The Carolina Panthers concluded the 2024 regular season on a high note, defeating the Atlanta Falcons in overtime, 44-38. Although the team finished the season with a record of 5-12, there is renewed hope for the future, as Bryce Young showcased his talent in Sunday’s game and throughout the last two months of the season. Head coach Dave Canales has stated that Young will be the team's quarterback moving forward. Julian Council has expressed regret for doubting Young earlier in the season and discusses his impressive midseason turnaround.While the Panthers have secured their quarterback, they will now focus on improving their defense during the offseason. The team set an unfortunate record by allowing 534 points in 2024, surpassing the previous record held by the 1981 Baltimore Colts for the most points allowed in a single season. This defensive struggle has led fans to call for the dismissal of defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero. Julian examines the current situation with Evero and questions whether Canales is willing to fire the once-promising defensive coordinator.With the Panthers officially committed to Young for 2025, this offseason is crucial for general manager Dan Morgan and the rest of the front office to build a strong contender around their new signal-caller. Julian previews the moves he believes the Panthers should make in the coming months to strengthen the team.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Turbo TaxReady for stress-free taxes and the most money back, guaranteed?

The Atlanta Falcons faint playoff hopes are on the line Sunday as the Carolina Panthers come to town. Carolina already ended the season for the Arizona Cardinals a few weeks ago. Can they do the same to their NFC South rivals? Julian Council provides his three keys to victory.Jaycee Horn was named a Pro Bowler for the first time in his career on Thursday. The Panthers took a calculated risk last offseason when they opted to exercise the fifth-year option on Horn, despite him missing 29 out of 51 games during his first three seasons in Carolina. Now with Pro Bowl recognition, will that lead to a contract extension this offseason for Horn?Additionally, a look at the Week 18 Injury Report reveals that the Panthers will be without a pair of defensive starters and depth pieces at edge rusher.

Following a 48-14 thrashing at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there's little debate that the 2024 Carolina Panthers defense is the worst in the 30-season history of the organization. The Panthers have allowed a franchise-worst 296 points this season while contending with a series of injuries. Due to the unit's consistent struggles, questions are arising about whether Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero should return as the team’s DC in 2025. Julian Council presents his case for and against Evero remaining in Carolina in 2025, along with what he believes Dave Canales will decide to do.

The Carolina Panthers were overwhelmed on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, losing 48-14. With the 48 points allowed, the Panthers have now given up a franchise-record 496 points, with one game remaining in 2024. Panthers head coach Dave Canales has continuously defended defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero's scheme, but can Canales reasonably retain a DC who has overseen the worst defense in franchise history? Julian Council discusses the defense hitting a historic low.In recent seasons, it has been the Panthers offense that has been the inept unit. Since Bryce Young was reinserted as the team's starting QB, there has been a role reversal, as the Panthers offense has provided the team an opportunity to win more often than not. Part of that turnaround has been the return of Adam Thielen, who made a case on Sunday to return for his age 35 season in 2025. Julian makes the case for Thielen's return and takes a look at the offense overall.While the Panthers have struggled to play complementary football this season, injuries have also been a major issue for the team, with 10 players on injured reserve entering Sunday, including key contributors on both sides of the ball. How significant a factor have injuries been in the Panthers’ 4-12 start to the season?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PrizePicksDownload the app and use code lockedonnfl to win $50 instantly when you play $5.
