Carolina Panthers Look to Rebound in 2025
After enduring a seventh consecutive losing season in 2024, the Carolina Panthers are gearing up for a fresh start in 2025. The team has focused its efforts on strengthening its defense, both through free agency and the draft.
Last season, the Panthers' defense allowed the most passing touchdowns in the NFL and intercepted just nine passes. To address these issues, the team has brought in players like Tershawn Wharton, Bobby Brown, and Nic Scourton to bolster the defensive line, and Princely Umanmielen and Patrick Jones to boost the edge rush.
One of the most significant acquisitions for the Panthers' defense is Tre'von Moehrig, who is set to start at safety. This move is part of the team's broader strategy to invest in defensive players and positions.
On the offensive side, the Panthers have made one significant addition in Tetairoa McMillan, who they selected with the eighth overall pick in the 2025 draft. McMillan is expected to provide a potential top receiver for Bryce Young, the 2023 No. 1 overall pick.
Young had a strong finish to the 2024 season, including a five-touchdown game in Week 17. However, he struggled at the start of the season, with Adam Thielen being the only Panthers receiver to top 525 yards in either of Young's first two NFL campaigns. With McMillan on board, the Panthers hope to improve their passing game.
The Panthers' offensive line played well in 2024 and is expected to remain intact in 2025. This continuity could provide a solid foundation for Young and McMillan to build upon.
The Panthers' schedule in 2025 includes five games against 2024 playoff teams and seven games against teams that didn't make the playoffs last year. With a win total of 6.5 wins in 2025, the team is aiming to improve upon their recent performance.
As for betting odds, Tetairoa McMillan's receiving yardage total for 2025 is set at 795.5 yards with odds of -110 (BetMGM). The Panthers' overall win total also has odds of +122 (Caesars).
Despite the promising additions, it's worth noting that none of the new defensive additions rated higher than 35th at their position last year, according to PFF rankings. This suggests that while the team has invested in talent, there is room for improvement.
The Panthers also made a move to improve their quarterback situation by signing Bryce Perkins after Andy Dalton's preseason injury. However, there are no detailed publicly available records of specific draft picks or free agent defensive players they signed in 2025 to bolster their defense.
In conclusion, the Carolina Panthers are looking to turn their fortunes around in 2025. With a focus on defense and the addition of Tetairoa McMillan to their offense, they are hopeful for a better season. Whether they can overcome their challenges remains to be seen.
