Locked On Panthers - Daily Podcast On The Carolina Panthers

Every organization in the NFL will be asking themselves how they can have a Cincinnati Bengals-style turnaround. What is the blueprint for the Carolina Panthers? Has Matt Rhule already shown through two seasons that his rebuild isn't going to work? According to The Ringer's Kevin Clark that may be the case.

The Bengals made key free agency signings without retaining two of their in-house free agents. The Panthers have several players, mainly on the defensive side of the ball, headed toward free agency. Can the Panthers afford to take the Bengals approach? If not, who should be prioritized? Can the Panthers defense sustain a Top 5 ranking with these loses?

The Carolina Panthers added a new OL coach but lost its WR coach on the same day. Where do the Rhule go from here?

The Carolina Panthers announced on Wednesday that director of player negotiations and salary-cap manager Samir Suleiman had been promoted to vice president of football administration. This move further highlights the growth of the Panthers front office. Heading into a pivotal offseason Julian Council believes that Panthers fans should place their hopes and dreams in the front office instead of lamenting about Matt Rhule being retained for a third season.

What if? It's a question fans asked themselves all the time. What if the Panthers had drafted Justin Fields or Mac Jones last April? Would that change the outlook of the franchise given the changing landscape across the NFC South?

A preview of Championship Sunday in the NFL from our friends over at Locked On Now.
