All those things can be true, but human beings are still on the other side of the cold calculations of salary caps and rosters.
Asked about Bridgewater's social media habits, Rhule cracked: "He didn't unfollow me."
"I have talked to Teddy," Rhule said. "A, he's someone I like talking to and...
As we noted Wednesday morning, there are still some moves to be made (they need help on the offensive line, as well as defensive tackle, linebacker, cornerback, tight end and other spots), but those are going to be more surgical strikes in a depressed market rather than splurges.
With the...
But in trying to project players into roles they hadn't played before, there were some misses. They gave defensive end Stephen Weatherly a two-year, $12.5 million deal, hoping the former Vikings backup could flourish as a starter. Instead, he had no sacks in nine games before a finger injury...
CHARLOTTE – Northwestern tackle Rashawn Slater's arms were long enough to keep NFL defensive rookie of the year Chase Young from touching his quarterback.
So Slater is a little mystified, and perhaps a little bothered, that it keeps coming up.
Slater is a solid Top-10 prospect for the 2021...
CHARLOTTE – The Panthers took a big step toward stabilizing their offensive line Tuesday.
The team placed the franchise tag on right tackle Taylor Moton, guaranteeing he'll be here for at least one more season.

All three of his Pro Bowls came with the Panthers (2014-16), as he combined for 3,185 receiving yards during that span, leading the way as the 2015 Panthers went 15-1.
His impact off the field was equally impressive. Olsen turned the unfortunate diagnosis of his son's congenital heart...
Davis spent his first 14 years with the Panthers after joining the team as a first-round pick in 2005.
During that time, he made three Pro Bowls and won the NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year award, but his accomplishments transcended any statistical measure.
Davis overcame three torn ACLs —...
Two Panthers cornerbacks, Rasul Douglas and Corn Elder, are set to become free agents, so finding both a starter and quality depth is essential.
Only one secondary player, Broncos safety Justin Simmons, cracked Rosenthal's top 25, but there were a lot of solid names in the next segment of the...
Of course, Okam was a known commodity to Rhule and defensive coordinator Phil Snow, working for them as the defensive line coach at Baylor before coming here last season.
Snow said they were clearly confident in Okam, but since he hadn't been a full position coach in the NFL previously, they...
It's the first day of March, which means the NFL Draft is now less than two months away. So it's time for another trip across the internet to check out the latest mock drafts to see what they are saying about the Panthers.
Here's a look at projections from six media outlets:
What does it mean to be Black?
Better yet, how do we celebrate Black people for their historical advancements and achievements without singling them out solely for the color of their skin?
A single thought sparked this Black History Month project: "I am more than what you see. Not defined by...
Of course, being a 350-pound-plus nose tackle made it resonate, but it's also a working man's meal, and Knighton was willing to do the grunt work then and now.
His job with the Panthers is the absolute entry-level position on an NFL coaching staff, as he learns to communicate what he knew as a...
CHARLOTTE – On the first day of the franchise tag period, the Panthers made sure to get at least one offensive lineman under contract.
The Panthers signed tackle Trent Scott to a one-year deal Tuesday, providing at least some depth and a known commodity at a position that lacked much of...
CHARLOTTE – The Panthers know they have a glaring need up front.
They could choose to begin addressing it as soon as today.
Tuesday is the first day NFL teams can use the franchise tag to keep potential unrestricted free agents from reaching the market. Under the terms of the tag, teams can...
CHARLOTTE – With one of their regular pass-catchers heading into the free agent market next month, the Panthers held onto some of their depth at the position.
The Panthers signed wide receivers Brandon Zylstra and Keith Kirkwood to one-year deals Monday. They were both scheduled to be...
CHARLOTTE – Head coach Matt Rhule wants to teach, and he wants to develop.
That doesn't just mean players.
The Panthers filled their vacant defensive line coaching spot by promoting assistant line coach Frank Okam into that role.
Okam had been Rhule's line coach at Baylor for two seasons...
CHARLOTTE – With the salary cap being as tight as it is in 2021, having younger, cheaper alternatives is going to be the preference.
