What We Cover
Free agency analysis and cap strategy — the Panthers just committed $165M to Jaelan Phillips and Devin Lloyd in one offseason. Draft evaluation and prospect scouting. Coaching staff decisions under Dave Canales. Stadium economics and the Bank of America Stadium renovation debate. The long rebuild from 2-15 to a team that believes it can compete.
Why It Matters
The Panthers are Charlotte's flagship sports franchise and the only major pro team that carries the city's name on a national stage every Sunday. Dan Morgan's 2026 offseason was the most aggressive in franchise history — a clear signal that the rebuild is over and the front office is pushing for relevance. The Mercury tracks every move.
