Panthers look more pass heavy in 2026
I'm looking at the new playcaller and a new type of starters from this offseason, and extrapolating that Carolina is about to be more spread pass than downhill run. This started out by swapping mauling C Cade Mays for 4th-round movement C Sam Hecht. They also allowed bruising RB Rico Dowdle to walk in free agency, so plus-receiver Jonathan Brooks can be the clear-cut RB2 behind Chuba Hubbard. They also added vertical WR3/WR4 Chris Brazzell in Round 3. Doesn't this seem like a team is going to pass a bit more? That's great for Bryce Young, Tetairoa McMillan, and Jalen Coker.
