Episode Details

The Carolina Panthers have been active during the first week of free agency, working to rebuild their league-worst defense while also re-signing key offensive players. However, one area that remains unaddressed is the wide receiver position. The Panthers were considered a likely candidate for former Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf, but he was ultimately traded to the Steelers. Although Panthers GM Dan Morgan has expressed his confidence in the team's receiving trio of Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette, and Jalen Coker, should he take a more aggressive approach to upgrade the talent at this position? What does the future hold for the Panthers' receiving core as free agency continues and the draft approaches?

Every year, teams claim they want to use free agency to position themselves to select the best player available in the draft. With signings made at various levels of the defense and needs addressed on offense, have the Panthers set themselves up well for the upcoming draft?

The NFL effectively sells hope better than any other league in North America. After the first week of free agency, have the Panthers positioned themselves as serious contenders for the NFC South division title?

Julian Council addresses these listener questions in the Weekly Friday Mailbag.
