Carolina Panthers

The UNC-Chapel Hill product becomes the second quarterback taken in the first round by New England since 2021 and will be its latest attempt to find a franchise quarterback following Tom Brady’s departure after the 2019 season.

The Carolina Panthers have fired general manager Scott Fitterer, one day after the team finished with an NFL-worst 2-15 record. The Panthers will be looking for a head coach and a general manager this offseason.

The NFL fined Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper $300,000 on Tuesday, two days after the billionaire was caught on video tossing a drink on fans from a luxury suite at the Jacksonville Jaguars' stadium.

The Carolina Panthers under owner David Tepper are on their sixth head coach, after firing Frank Reich and upgrading special teams coordinator Chris Tabor to interim head coach.

Young was 30-4 as a starter during three seasons with the Crimson Tide, throwing for 8,356 yards with 80 touchdowns and only 12 interceptions. He won the Heisman Trophy in 2021.

Richardson, who was one of the NFL’s most influential owners until a scandal forced him to sell the team, has died. He was 86.

Reich previously spent one season as the Panthers' quarterback and started the franchise’s inaugural game in 1995.

The move does not come as a surprise.

Wide receiver D.J. Moore said several team leaders spoke to Tepper about the possibility of returning to a grass field earlier this season, but as of yet have not heard if any change is in the works. Bank of America Stadium, an outdoor stadium, was built in 1995 and had a grass field up until the spring of 2021.

The Panthers announced the deal that sends McCaffrey back to the Bay Area where he starred in college at Stanford in Thursday night. They said it will be finalized when McCaffrey passes a physical.
