How the Panthers 2026 salary cap is being impacted by dead money and the rollover
As the Panthers prepare for free agency, how is their salary cap situation being impacted by dead money and rolling over unused salary cap from last year? According to Spotrac, Carolina currently has $7.6 million in available cap space, which ranks 18th in the league. That number could change at any time if the front […]
2026 CSR Mock Draft 2.0
The 2026 NFL Combine has come to a close, with some players seeing a rise to their draft stocks after getting a chance to impress NFL coaches and scouts in on-field drills, athletic tests, and interviews throughout the week.

Potential Panthers Picks: Post-Combine Risers and Fallers
In this article, we’ll take a look at players consistently mocked to the Carolina Panthers before the combine and how they performed in Indianapolis. For this list, we’ll be focusing on players consistently mocked to the Panthers, not players who pundits randomly have the Panthers taking in order to generate clicks or hot takes. Risers […]

Carolina Panthers discussion: Have you ever met a Panthers player or coach in real life?
We’re beyond the Super Bowl but not quite to the start of the new league year so it’s a somewhat quiet time in the NFL. Let’s pass the time by talking about the Panthers. Where’s the most random place you’ve run into a Panthers player or coach, and who was it? You could always tell […]

Summarizing the Panthers’ press conferences at the combine
The combine has been underway for a few days now, and the workouts have taken everyone’s attention.

NFLPA Report Card Grades: Panthers near bottom in 2026
The Carolina Panthers have spent the last few seasons turning around the narrative of the on-field product, culminating in an unlikely NFC South division crown this past season. Off the field, the players have not seen as much growth. While the Panthers overall rank rose from 25th overall in 2025 to 23rd overall in 2026, […]

Five potential Panthers targets to watch at the NFL Combine
Football is back. After a hefty two week break, the NFL is headlining the sports world once again. Teams are congregating in Indianapolis to watch a bunch of college kids run and jump and go through drills to add another data point to their scouting profiles. Every year, we talk about how film trumps measurables, […]
Rising Stars: Offensive contributors
The final two entries of the Rising Stars of the Carolina Panthers series will be dedicated to the players on each side of the football who, while compelling in their own way, have not quite done enough to qualify as a ‘star’. Those who have had an eyebrow-raising game or two, but for one reason […]

Potential cap casualties that could help the Panthers defense
On Thursday, we looked at some players that are candidates for release from their current teams that could be good targets for the Carolina Panthers. Admittedly, the pickings were a little slim on the offensive side of the ball. However, there are some spicier options on the defensive end that are more likely to be […]
Brian Answers: Sharing responses on Bradley Chubb, salary cap, and more!
Hello CSR! Welcome to Brian Answers, part two of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone!

So, I answered some questions, and highlighted some […]
Potential cap casualties that could help the Panthers offense
The Carolina Panthers enter the 2026 offseason with plenty of cap space and pretty easy means to make even more. They have a quarterback on a rookie contract, which is prime time to spend a bunch of money on a supporting cast. Other teams are not so fortunate. There are going to be a lot […]
Rising Stars: Tetairoa McMillan
While this series is titled Rising Stars, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan has a strong argument to remove the word ‘rising’, because he already might be a star. It’s hefty praise to heap onto a rookie, but in the era of the NFL where first year players are thrown into the starting line-up in […]
