Carolina Panthers team preview before 2020 NFL Draft
The Carolina Panthers made a few moves this offseason to get a little bit better, what can they do in the 2020 NFL Draft to make a run at the playoffs?
The Carolina Panthers were one of those teams thought they had their quarterback of the future in Kyle Allen and after a few games realized that they need to draft or sign a quarterback in free agency. The Panthers decided to sign former division rival quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to a three-year deal; are they going to help him in the 2020 NFL Draft or are they in full tank mode?
The Panthers also signed former XFL star quarterback P.J. Walker to a one-year deal, if Bridgewater is not the answer they have Walker on stand by. The Carolina Panthers also decided to make one of the best running backs in the league, Christian McCaffrey. This extension would make McCaffrey the highest-paid running back in NFL history.
The Carolina Panthers did not just sign a new quarterback they cut their old one and traded one away as well. The Panthers decided after signing Teddy Bridgewater and P.J. Walker that they would release former M.V.P quarterback Cam Newton. The Panthers decided to trade away Kyle Allen to the Washington Redskins. The Redskins head coach Ron Rivera is the former head coach of Carolina Panthers that drafted Allen. Do you think cutting Cam Newton was a mistake that the Carolina Panthers will regret years down the road?
