Pretty much since Greg Olsen left, the Carolina Panthers have not had a good tight end. They've tried so many different players, like Ian Thomas, Hayden Hurst, Tommy Tremble, and Ja'Tavion Sanders.
Tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders is closing in on a return to the Panthers lineup. Sanders has missed the last three games with an ankle injury, but he was upgraded to full practice participation on Thursday.
In NFL history, 32 players have rushed for 10,000 or more yards over the course of their careers. How many of the 32 can you name in five minutes?
The Carolina Panthers will be kicking off their fifth game of the season about an hour and a half from now against the Miami Dolphins. It's a must-win matchup for the Panthers, who would fall to 1-4 with a loss.
The NFL trade deadline looms in early November, and several teams with seller profiles have emerged. Here are the top candidates to be traded before that point.
Given the way things have gone over the last seven seasons, it's difficult to believe anything truly good can happen to these Carolina Panthers. That being said, the way they finished the 2024 season and the roster improvements they have made this offseason have inspired the first real spark of hope for this fanbase in a long time.
In 2025, for the second straight year, the Carolina Panthers picked a tight end on the final day of the NFL draft. Ja'Tavion Sanders went in the fourth round in 2024, but because he never really took off and took the position, the Panthers added Mitchell Evans in 2025 in the fifth round.
He never passed Rob Gronkowski for the TE1 title, but there was a time when there was no other tight end in the NFL better than Greg Olsen, who peaked during his time with the Carolina Panthers.
The Carolina Panthers have spent two draft picks on tight ends in the last two drafts. That gives them three players at the position: a former fourth-round pick who had an underwhelming rookie season, a fifth-round prospect who's totally unproven, and a four-year veteran with less than 800 career yards.
How many times have we heard people say that the Carolina Panthers need a tight end throughout the offseason? Heck, there were even calls for the Panthers to select Tyler Warren with the eighth overall pick of the NFL draft.
Ja'Tavion Sanders had a decent start to his NFL career in 2024. The Carolina Panthers' fourth-round pick out of Texas had 342 yards and a touchdown on 33 receptions.

Last year, the Carolina Panthers selected tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders in the fourth round of the NFL draft. At the time, the pick was widely viewed as a potential steal due to Sanders' freakish athleticism.
The Carolina Panthers are preparing to enter the 2025 NFL season with a much better set of weapons than they had a year ago, particularly after selecting wide receivers Tetairoa McMillan and Jimmy Horn Jr.
Going into the draft, the Carolina Panthers arguably needed a tight end. The duo of Tommy Tremble and Ja'Tavion Sanders was uninspiring, and it frankly wasn't enough to fill out a complete roster.
The Carolina Panthers have the chance to pick a defensive standout, Tetairoa McMillan, or Tyler Warren with the eighth pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. There's very little chance either McMillan or Warren, the top pass-catchers in the draft, are off the board when Carolina gets on the clock next Thursday.
The tight end room the Carolina Panthers currently have could be worse, but it's also not that inspiring. Ja'Tavion Sanders and Tommy Tremble have both at times looked like capable starters, but they've both also faded into the background all too often.
The Carolina Panthers haven't had a genuine pass-catching threat at tight end for a long time. In fact, it's been almost a decade since injuries started taking their toll on Greg Olsen after the 2016 season.
