General manager Dan Morgan put together as good a 2025 NFL draft class as any team in the league, boosting the Carolina Panthers' roster in several places where they needed it most.
The Carolina Panthers named former linebacker Dan Morgan their full-time GM ahead of the 2024 season to try to turn things around. Just a season-and-a-half later, he appears to have done that.
It is so far, so good for a team looking to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2017, and a club that hasn’t won a division title since its Super Bowl 50 campaign in 2015.
How many of the players with the most recent 10-touchdown (non-passing) season by NFL team can you name in five minutes?
Three weeks into this NFL season and rookie edge rusher Princely Umanmielen has become the answer to a trivia question. Who is the only Carolina Panthers’ player to record a sack in 2025?
All NFL players enter the season with high hopes, but sometimes seasons don't go as hoped. These 20 players have been some of the biggest disappointments early in the 2025 season.
It was the real focal point of the 2025 offseason for Carolina Panthers’ general manager Dan Morgan: What to do in regards to one of the worst defensive performances in a single season in NFL annals?
The Carolina Panthers' defensive line was awful last year. It could not stop the run whatsoever, so GM Dan Morgan set out to fix that. He drafted three defensive linemen and signed two more.
Carolina Panthers’ general manager Dan Morgan did a ton of work this offseason when it came to addressing league’s worst defensive unit in 2024. Ejiro Evero’s unit had many issues, including a horrific run defense that allowed a whopping 179.8 yards per game.
They had plenty of competition, but you could make a strong case that the safety room was the weakest group for the Carolina Panthers' league-worst defense last season.
All eyes are on young Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker. After Adam Thielen got hurt last year, Coker's snaps in the slot role, which was mainly Thielen's, skyrocketed.
Dalton Wasserman of Pro Football Focus did a little “stock up, stock down” when it came to some rookie performances during the preseason. He has obviously been impressed with one of general manager Dan Morgan’s four defensive selections in April’s NFL draft.
For years, Thanksgiving belonged to the NFL, but Christmas belonged to the NBA. Occasionally, an NFL game would fall on Christmas, but it was anomalous, even avoided if possible.
Back in April, Carolina Panthers’ general manager Dan Morgan selected a total of eight players in the draft. His picks were equally divided between offense and defense.
The Carolina Panthers added eight players in April’s draft. General manager Dan Morgan selected four players on each side of the ball. Hopes are high for first-round wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, as well as rookie pass-rushers Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen.
As training camp continues to roll along, Carolina Panthers GM Dan Morgan proceeds to make roster moves at the bottom of the roster. On Tuesday, the team signed free agent wide receiver Ja'seem Reed and released fellow receiver Dan Chisena as the corresponding move.
In May, Derrick Brown expressed a desire to be back at full strength by the start of the regular season. The Panthers Pro Bowler has indeed been cleared well before that point.
The Carolina Panthers knew they had to hit a home run in the NFL draft, especially after the team showed significant signs of life during the second half of last season.
The Carolina Panthers may be through with the NFL Draft, but don’t assume Dan Morgan is closing the book on the team’s defensive rebuild just yet. In a candid appearance on The Drive with Tim Donnelly this week, the Panthers’ GM made it clear that he’s still exploring options to strengthen the secondary—especially at free safety.
At the very least, it’s hard to envision him as a member of next year’s Panthers.
Dan Morgan received a prestigious honor ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. On Friday, the current Panthers GM was announced as one of the four new inductees into the University of Miami's Ring of Honor.
Panthers general manager Dan Morgan clarified that he's open for business.
Repeating his earlier stance on moving down, Panthers general manager Dan Morgan again invited any general manager shopping for a top-10 pick to call Carolina about the No.
According to Joseph Person of The Athletic, the Panthers “are open to the idea” of moving back from No. 8 “depending on what happens in front of them.”
As the Carolina Panthers head into the 2025 NFL free agency period, the team faces a critical balancing act—how to make the most of their $28 million in cap space to build a competitive roster.
It will now be interesting to see how Young handles things.
Panthers general manager Dan Morgan insisted that the team never intended to trade Bryce Young, but he remained noncommittal about his future as a franchise quarterback.
Young's future in Carolina remains uncertain amid a second unsteady season.
