Locked On Panthers

The Carolina Panthers ended its search for a new general manager on Monday evening by hiring a familiar face. Dan Morgan, former Pro Bowl linebacker for franchise and most recently the organizations assistant GM was promoted to the role of President of Football Operations and General Manager. Julian Council reacts to the breaking news.Since Morgan was hired in May of 2021, the Panthers are 14-37. While it's not fair to place the blame on Morgan, there's an issue within the front office when it comes to roster building. Should other changes be expected to be made now that Morgan is the man in charge?With Morgan in place, how does that impact the Panthers head coaching search?

Heading into the 2023 season, the Carolina Panthers offensive line was viewed as a strength. The thought by then general manager Scott Fitterer was that he had invested enough in the offensive line over the previous two offseasons that there would be no issues placing a rookie quarterback in Bryce Young behind them.Well, Fitterer and this podcast host were wrong. While not all sacks can be credited to the offensive line, the Panthers allowed 65 sacks on the season, tied for second-most in the NFL, and severely regressed from what was viewed as a breakthrough 2022 campaign.Now, with a new GM on the way, the Panthers need to figure out what to do with this unit moving forward. All five starters from the 2022 season are under contract in 2024 and there are decisions to be made about each of their futures.One of the biggest issues the Panthers need to solve this offseason is determining the future of left tackle Ickey Ekwonu.After a solid rookie campaign, Ekwonu struggled in 2023 allowing 11 sacks, according to P
