For the Carolina Panthers, it’s all hands on deck as they try to regain some form of credibility in 2024. Dave Canales is certain that his squad can be more competitive and, ideally, pick up a few more victories from a favorable schedule the next season, but expectations should be kept low during the team’s debut season.
During yet another intense round of recruiting, the Panthers made significant adjustments to their playing roster. Dan Morgan was very clear about his desire to restore the culture. One crucial initial step was to identify athletes who had the appropriate mindset. It is now incumbent upon Canales and his team to execute their plans with similar speed and efficacy.
The Panthers will need more luck on the health front if they hope to guarantee that the league begins to view them differently. Any remote chance Carolina had of making waves in 2023 was wiped out by injuries. Key men may have a shot if they stay as fit as possible.
In light of this, the Panthers cannot afford to lose any of these five players to injury in 2024.
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson
For quarterback Bryce Young, the Carolina Panthers want to simplify things for him in the upcoming campaign. A plethora of fascinating pass-catchers who can increase consistency have been added. Getting wide receiver Diontae Johnson via trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers was probably the most noteworthy of all.
Considering how things ended between Johnson and the Steelers, this was a low-risk decision. For Young, his superb route running and ability to establish distance will be a welcome change. The gamer needs to be really driven to dispel his skeptics.
Johnson is a crucial component of the whole. Young may face a formidable task if the Panthers were to lose the former third-round pick out of Toledo for an extended length of time. Additionally, it would be catastrophic for the wideout’s prospects of obtaining a second, long-term agreement in 2025.
