CHARLOTTE – It had been nearly six months since Cam Newton had thrown a pass for all to see – an incomplete pass on fourth down as he was hit that ended the Panthers’ bid to realistically remain in the playoff hunt by knocking off the Saints. Newton’s throwing shoulder had given every ounce...

McCoy is getting a feel for everything right now. It’s a new environment, a new defense, and it takes some time to adjust. The main takeaway from McCoy’s debut was effort. He was always among the first, if not the first, defensive player to take the field when team drills began. He made a...

He chose football and the University of Georgia, but nine days after enrolling he got a text from one of his new teammates that was a cause for pause. “Isaiah texted me,” Godwin said, referring to current Bills receiver Isaiah McKenzie, “and he was like, ‘Congratulations dude, you just got...

For content creators, it's a gold mine. For the players, it's an opportunity to post some sweet pics. And the fans get to enjoy it all. There's a lot that goes into Media Day, and the finished product is always exciting. The Panthers have been rolling out content from their Media Day over...

When tight end Chris Manhertz called to deliver the good news, both women were instantly in tears. Sizeable donations were heading their way thanks to the Panthers’ Player Impact Committee. “It drew some emotion out of me knowing that it impacted somebody so much in a positive way,” Manhertz...

CHARLOTTE – Last week, quarterback Cam Newton looked into the camera, smiled, and confidently shared this message: “Streets want to know when Boogie coming back… Due time, people. In due time.” The wait is (almost) over. Newton, who underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his throwing...

The Panthers wrapped up organized team activities this week with four practices. In just my three weeks here, there is already a big difference in how quick the players are flying around the field. But in my opinion, the biggest highlights from the week came from some off-the-field activities...

Panthers players no doubt will continue to flex on Fridays, but for the time being it won’t be happening in the Panthers' weight room. Sad, but true. Today is the final Friday of the team’s offseason workout program, with players set to head their separate ways after minicamp concludes next...

That’s the made-for-social-media definition of NFL free agency, but that’s not nearly the whole story as Hurney started making moves before free agency officially began and has continued making moves into June. Before the McCoy signing, most of the moves didn’t move the needle much nationally...

On Reid: “Firstly, I just love him. So smart, great in the classroom. So focused. A good leader. He has all the intangibles you want in a guy to build your secondary around. He can cover, he’s physical, he can play the middle of the field. He can do it all.” On Gaulden: “Very talented player...

All of the alums imparted some wisdom to the group before the food was served. “Take notes so you can play fast when you get to camp,” Rucker said. “You can’t make the same mistake twice,” Diggs said. “Understand that everyone learns differently. Figure out what works for you,” McCown...

CHARLOTTE -- A day after signing free agent defensive lineman Gerald McCoy, the Panthers have acquired another former Buccaneer, this time signing cornerback Javien Elliott. Elliott, who went undrafted in 2016, spent the first three seasons of his career with Tampa Bay, playing in 36 games and...

Tepper addressed the crowd after a roster full of South Carolina politicians took to the stage. Rock Hill mayor John Gettys served as master of ceremonies for Wednesday’s event, welcoming the crowd to “celebrate the biggest economic development project in Rock Hill and York County’s history.”...

That’s an invaluable lesson that Daley learned under challenging circumstances after his high school career ended. He had to go the junior college route before heading to the University of South Carolina, a two-year experience at Georgia Military College that still sticks with him to this day...

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The total number of sacks of McCoy, Kawann Short and Dontari Poe between 2013-18. According to Radar360, that total is the most sacks among any team's current top defensive tackles in the NFL. McCoy, Short and Poe have also combined to go to nine Pro...

Why choose Carolina? Yes, he was a longtime member of a division rival, but McCoy has always had a great amount of respect for the Panthers. And when he visited the team last Friday, he meshed extremely well with his future teammates. “I’ve always had so much respect for the organization...

McCoy and Short both rank among the most productive pass-rushing defensive tackles in the game today, and that’s while spending their entire pro careers in 4-3 base defenses. Now they’re joining forces and doing so at a time when the Panthers are going to a hybrid look with 3-4 tendencies that...

McCoy, age 31, believes he still has plenty to offer a contender, but it was good to hear that from a suitor after the Buccaneers released him May 20. “I would like to thank the Panthers organization – Mr. Tepper, Mr. Hurney and of course Coach Rivera – for believing in me,” McCoy said. “It...

There was no red (or in this case, blue) carpet rolled out. No extravagant show put on to woo the six-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman. The Panthers essentially told McCoy, “This is what we’re about. Join us if you think it’s right for you.” After arriving in Charlotte on Thursday evening...

For the first time, defensive end Julius Peppers is on the ballot for the College Football Hall of Fame. Players whose college careers concluded at least 10 years ago are eligible once their pro careers end. Peppers, a standout in both football and basketball at the University of North...
