Link to story Panthers | Jadeveon Clowney among seven players cut Thu May 8, 02:15 PM
Carolina Panthers LB Jadeveon Clowney, TE Jordan Matthews and WR Dax Milne were released Thursday, May 8. The team also waived WR T.J. Luther, OG Andrew Raym and DT Jerrod Clark and waived/injured DT Popo Aumavae (undisclosed).
| Footballguys view: Clowney is the biggest name here, and it's not a surprise considering there were rumblings he could be cut before the draft. In 14 games last year, Clowney totaled 5.5 sacks and can still get after the passer in a part-time role. Clowney should have no problem getting a job for 2025. |

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list Thursday, May 8, and will miss the entire 2025 season.
| Footballguys view: Terrible news for Brooks here. He fell to the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft because of a 2023 knee injury he suffered in his final season with the Texas Longhorns. Brooks barely played as a rookie, then he re-injured the ligament in Week 14. The Panthers move forward with Chuba Hubbard as their top back. Free agent Rico Dowdle and rookie Trevor Etienne will compete for reserve snaps. |
Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan draws lofty comparison Sun May 4, 01:26 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan was compared to Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins by an NFL executive. 'I think he is like Tee Higgins,' the executive said. 'That is higher than Tee went, but you would still be getting a top-15 receiver in the league.'
| Footballguys view: There were some in the scouting community who compared McMillan to Mike Evans, Michael Pittman, or Drake London. Depending on where you categorize WR/CB Travis Hunter (Jaguars), McMillan was arguably the best receiver in this class. He's a prototypical 'X' receiver who can dominate at the catch point. QB Bryce Young was apparently vouching for McMillan in the pre-draft process, so we may see an instant chemistry between the two. We will watch his career with great interest. |

Link to story Panthers | Adam Thielen not looking past '25 Fri May 2, 10:18 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Adam Thielen isn't looking past the 2025 season, but his family wanted him to play this season.
| Footballguys view: Thielen chose to play one more year after consulting his family. He reworked his contract to make it essentially a one-year, $8.5 million deal for 2025. Thielen can still produce, even though the Panthers have added more talent to the room this offseason (mainly in the draft). Last year, Thielen caught 48 passes for 615 yards and five touchdowns in 10 games. Now, with first-round pick Tetairoa McMillan as likely the lead receiver we should see Thielen work as a solid veteran/no.3 option for QB Bryce Young. |

Link to story Panthers | Hunter Renfrow dealt with illness Wed Apr 30, 11:05 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Hunter Renfrow (illness) dealt with challenges after a diagnosis of the autoimmune condition ulcerative colitis, which had left him with weight loss, fatigue, and high fevers. 'It kicked my butt pretty good,' Renfrow said. 'Last year, I fluctuated in weight; I went down to 150 pounds. I had like seven straight days of 103-degree fevers. It's tough to play when you're not feeling great.' Renfrow said he's back up to around 187 pounds.
| Footballguys view: Renfrow has shown what he's capable of as a front-line slot receiver. He caught 103 passes for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns for the Raiders in 2021, a breakout after a pair of solidly productive years (105 catches in 2019 and 2020 combined). In five seasons, he has 269 catches for 2,884 yards and 17 touchdowns. In Carolina, he joins a receiving corps with a pair of first-round picks in Xavier Legette and Tetairoa McMillan, veteran Adam Thielen, and second-year man Jalen Coker. |

Following the draft, the Panthers added another pass-catching option, agreeing to terms with former Raiders receiver and Clemson star Hunter Renfrow Sunday night.
| Footballguys view: The 29-year-old Renfrow was out of the league last year but has a track record of production out of the slot. He caught 103 passes for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns for the Raiders in 2021, a breakout after a pair of solidly productive years (105 catches in 2019 and 2020 combined). In five seasons, he has 269 catches for 2,884 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Link to story Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan has a big fan in Bryce Young Fri Apr 25, 01:09 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan was the team's first-round pick at No. 8 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. QB Bryce Young reportedly felt strong enough about him that he walked into the offices of head coach Dave Canales and general Dan Morgan before the draft and told them: 'We need to pick this guy.'
| Footballguys view: Young looked better after getting benched last year. McMillan is going to help him look even better this year. The big-bodied rookie has some Drake London/Mike Evans to his game and can command the football. As Young continues to develop into a better passer, McMillan rises up fantasy rankings. |

The Saints are reportedly interested in Sanders with the recent injury to QB Derek Carr (shoulder).
