With coaching staff in place, what's next for Carolina Panthers?
Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper understands he can’t buy the talent likely needed to build a Super Bowl-caliber roster this year given the team’s current salary cap limitations. The billionaire also understands, as he said after making Frank Reich the sixth head coach in franchise history, there are no salary cap limitations on building a staff. Reich was able to lure two former NFL head coaches to his staff in senior defensive consultant Dom Capers, 72, and senior assistant Jim Caldwell, 68. The Panthers' staff has won a combined 10 Super Bowl rings and has a combined 191 years of NFL coaching experience. But for the Panthers to become a playoff team for the first time since the 2017 season, a lot has to happen.

What are the Panthers' top offseason roster needs, beyond QB?
New Carolina Panthers coach Frank Reich had two key components in 2017, when he won a Super Bowl as the offensive coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles, that he doesn’t have now. He had a Pro Bowl quarterback in Carson Wentz, a Super Bowl MVP in quarterback Nick Foles and a Pro Bowl tight end in Zach Ertz.Those components are the biggest missing pieces from a Carolina roster that has 18 of 22 starters from last season under contract in 2023. It's a roster many who interviewed for the job Reich got believed was the strongest among the five teams with head coach openings. Finding those pieces, particularly at quarterback, will be Reich’s biggest challenge.
