The Carolina Panthers are coming off a second-place finish in the NFC South. While Carolina had a 7-10 record, they had a shot at the division title if they had beaten the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17 and the New Orleans Saints in Week 18. The Panthers are entering a new era as they brought in Frank Reich as the team’s next head coach. Reich isn’t the only new piece for Carolina. They signed free agent RB Miles Sanders to a four-year deal to replace Christian McCaffrey, who was dealt to the San Francisco 49ers at last year’s trade deadline. The Panthers made a splash trade sending draft picks and DJ Moore to the Chicago Bears for the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The front office for Carolina suggested they just wanted to hold all the cards and may end up moving back again. Quarterback and wide receiver remain the team’s top needs heading into next season, along with EDGE and cornerback on the defensive side of the ball.
