The Carolina Panthers finished up Week 1 of the team's three week stretch of organized team activities, or OTA, on Thursday. Absent from the media portion of OTA on Monday was Jadeveon Clowney, Robert Hunt, and Josey Jewell. In total, five projected starters weren't in attendance for the voluntary workouts. Of those five, only Eddy Pineiro was a part of the 2-15 campaign last fall. Even still, the Panthers are a team in repair and in need of a culture shift on the field. Should it be concerning that some veterans have opted to not participate?

Where does the Panthers salary cap stand heading into June? Is it enough for the team to pursue a marquee summer free agent?

Fans are trying to figure out what are reasonable expectations for the Panthers heading into Year 1 under Dave Canales. If the Panthers were able to double their win total would that be enough or is that aiming too low?

Julian Council answers these questions among other listener questions in this week's edition of the Weekly Friday Mailbag.
