Some major news broke around the football world on Friday when the lawyer for free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick announced that a settlement has been reached between the NFL and his client. Said settlement stems from Kaepernick claiming that the NFL and its owners colluded to keep him out of the league after he kicked off the national anthem protests in 2016. Kaepernick has been unemployed each of the past two seasons. This stunning news got us thinking. Is this a prelude to Kaepernick...
Ron Rivera has given every indication he has complete faith in Cam Newton, but the Carolina Panthers head coach did not rule out bringing in a quarterback to motivate and challenge the team’s entrenched signal-caller. Discussing Newton during an appearance Friday on ESPN’s “First Take,” Rivera was asked by Stephen A. Smith whether the Panthers believe adding a quarterback who conceivably would put some pressure on Newton. “I don’t disagree with that because if there is one thing...
The NFL has reached a settlement agreement with Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid regarding their grievances, according to a joint statement from their attorney and the league: “For the past several months, counsel for Mr. Kaepernick and Mr. Reid have engaged in an ongoing dialogue with representatives of the NFL. As a result of those discussions, the parties have decided to resolve the pending grievances. The resolution of this matter is subject to a confidentiality agreement so there...
Colin Kaepernick has settled his collusion case with the NFL. Kaepernick’s attorney Mark Geragos announced on Friday in a statement that the two sides resolved the matter. The league issued a similar statement. “For the past several months, counsel for Mr. Kaepernick and Mr. Reid have engaged in an ongoing dialogue with representatives of the NFL. As a result of those discussions, the parties have decided to resolve the pending grievances. The resolution of this matter is subject to a...
This team has a ton of potential, but as the grades show, there is a lot of room to improve on.
The Carolina Panthers may have had a disappointing season after leaving a sour 7-9 taste in our mouths, but the latest PFF rankings display that there is much promise for the future.

Brad is replaced by Billy to talk about what the Panthers need and why Jon hates Curtis Samuel.
Brad couldn’t make it this week, so Billy Marshall took his place for this episode. You’ll know him from the many film pieces he contributes to CSR.
We talk about Eric Reid re-signing, the value of his contract, and the danger that comes with making snap judgments when initial contract details are released. We all share our thoughts on his impact on the defense and what this means for the...
The Panthers have the No. 16 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
There’s no denying the Carolina Panthers need to improve their pass rush. Once a staple of past great Carolina teams, the pass rush was a giant blemish throughout the 2018 season. Julius Peppers (who just turned 39) was due to become a free agent in March, but he announced his retirement beginning of February. The Panthers will need to address the absence of the Hall of Famer defensive end in the 2019 NFL Draft. Usually drafting a...

The Panthers may have struck salary cap gold with their fourth round tight end
As we reflect back on 2018 and look forward to 2019’s roster needs, this is a good time to shine a spotlight the value of successful mid-round picks like tight end Ian Thomas.
The Carolina Panthers invested a 2018 fourth round pick (No. 101 overall) in Thomas, a raw, athletic prospect with upside coming out of Indiana. Fortunately for the Panthers it looks like they may have nailed this selection. Thomas made...
The season was a mixed bag at tight end for the Panthers in 2018.
The Panthers’ season at tight end was like a reverse crap sandwich. The middle of the season was actually pretty good, that being when All Pro Greg Olsen was on the field. The problem is that Olsen was injured early in the season opener and missed the next three games. After he returned he played nine games before re-injuring his ankle and missing the rest of the season. But then something surprising happened. Rookie fifth...

The Panthers’ long time All-Pro center has given the team stability and personality since 2007.
There isn’t a whole lot to say about Ryan Kalil that you can’t get just from listening to him talk. He was a steady and zany presence in the Panthers’ locker room for 12 years. Like Julius Peppers before him, Kalil will leaves the Panthers with a legacy that will remain unrivaled for generations.
We can talk all day about his five Pro Bowl selections or his two first team All-Pro...

Let’s hear it for the real OGs!
Isn’t there some type of hip hop tune that uses that phrase? From this maybe? But I digress already. Let’s talk about the hog mollies up front. The non-skill players if you will.
The good news is the Panthers did not have a lot of turnover at guard 2018. Tyler Larsen filled in at right guard for an injured Trai Turner for three games early in the season. He didn’t exactly light it up. Left guard Greg Van Roten...
The Panthers need to add pieces to their offensive line. Jonah Williams would be a great fit for Carolina if he’s available at No. 16 overall.
There have been many spirited debates surrounding Alabama offensive tackle Jonah Williams in the lead up to the draft. Most of the questions have nothing to do with Williams’ talent. The main question is whether he projects better to a guard or tackle in the NFL.
As a true freshman in 2016, Jonah Williams was a starter at right tackle for the...

In the modern NFL you can only retain a finite amount of your young talent, and the Carolina Panthers are basically at capacity.
Stop me if you’ve heard this tale before. Young and talented NFL prospect waits patiently behind a not as talented veteran until finally being granted his shot at NFL greatness. He seizes it and puts in a nice season of work, just in time for him to enter a contract year and cash in at just the right time. Before he can even get limbered up for the season ahead,...
A long time sore spot for the Panthers gained a lone bright spark in 2018, but the team must continue to search for a bona fide left tackle.
Everyone’s favorite topic of the offseason makes another return for 2019, and that is of course the debate over the merits of the Carolina Panthers ever revolving door at tackle. This season tackled just about every potential story line available when it comes to personnel at the position. The big bright spot, is that we had the rise of a young and...
