Zierlein just pushed out his first set of first-round projections this offseason, and has the Panthers nabbing Penn State standout TE Tyler Warren with the eighth overall pick. He writes:

As for the other 20 Panthers who are eligible to become unrestricted free agents, here is the likelihood each will be re-signed: QB Andy Dalton: Likely. He's been instrumental in Bryce Young's growth. Their relationship is strong, and he's still capable of winning games. C Austin Corbett: Unlikely. He wants to go to a team where he's the unquestioned starter, and Carolina has a younger, cheaper option in Cade Mays. OL Brady Christensen: Unlikely. He was invaluable as the sixth man but has proved he can be a starter, so he'll get more money elsewhere. TE Tommy Tremble: Likely. Second-year player Ja'Tavion Sanders is the future, but Tremble is a proven contributor. TE Ian Thomas: Unlikely. Being the team's best blocking tight end won't be enough to keep his job. TE Feleipe Franks: Maybe. He should be an affordable option. WR David Moore: Likely. A low-cost veteran who's been with Canales in Seattle, Tampa Bay and Carolina. RB Mike Boone: Unlikely. He wasn't the go-to back when Chuba Hubbard's season ended and the team needs to upgrade the depth. DE DeShawn Williams: Unlikely. He had only 16 tackles and half a sack for a defense that ranked last in the NFL. OLB Cam Gill: Unlikely. He could be kept for depth, but this defense will get an overhaul, particularly at OLB. CB Michael Jackson: Likely. Carolina wants to upgrade opposite Jaycee Horn, but Jackson played well enough to get another deal. CB Caleb Farley: Maybe. The former first-rounder showed some promise and wants to remain close to home, so he could offer depth at an affordable contract. S Xavier Woods: Unlikely. His unnecessary roughness penalties were piling up, so don't be surprised by an upgrade here. S Jordan Fuller: Maybe. But the Panthers have a younger player in Demani Richardson they want to get a look at. S Nick Scott: Maybe. He knows the system but could be a casualty in the Panthers' defensive upgrades. S Sam Franklin Jr: Likely. He is a key special teams member. S Lonnie Johnson Jr: Unlikely. Another player who could move on as part of the defensive upgrades. P Johnny Hekker: Maybe. He is a proven veteran but ranked 29th in yards per punt (45.7) and 17th in net yards per punt (41.5), so much will depend on price. K Eddy Pineiro: Unlikely. Carolina didn't pay him what he wanted last year, and he ranked 22nd in field goal percentage (84.6%). LS JJ Jansen: Likely. At 39, he's still one of the best in the business. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/43586063/nfl-carolina-panthers-shaq-thompson-free-agent

the Panthers are one of four teams that can be forced into participating in the upcoming season of HBO’s Hard Knocks. The Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans are the other three possible subjects.

Micah isn’t overreacting to Bryce Young’s performance pic.twitter.com/3RSlVonpDK — B/R Gridiron (@brgridiron) September 12, 2024 "Am I worried about Bryce Young? No, I'm not. Bryce Young is still with an organization that's still trying to pick up the talent and people around him. They gave up 40 points. It's hard for any team in the NFL to win when they give up 40 points. Point blank period. He's very talented. He's very good. He's just got to put it all together." - Micah Parsons
