Russell Okung 'here to win ... right now' with Panthers, not rebuild
After facing a life-threatening pulmonary embolism during the 2019 offseason, left tackle Russell Okuna didn't agree to be traded to the Carolina Panthers to be part of a total rebuild under first-year coach Matt Rhule.

They do a great job of sending us workouts and working with my little brother throwing here. I'm able to do everything. It's just not with the team.''
Christian McCaffrey says he never thought about playing anywhere else when he was negotiating a new deal. ‘'I want to be in Carolina for my whole career.''
Strong 2020 NFL draft class could allow Panthers to avoid total rebuild
Do the Carolina Panthers need a complete rebuild? That's a question the Panthers are attempting to answer as they enter the 2020 NFL draft on Thursday. New left tackle Russell Okuna said last week he didn’t consider this a rebuild at all, proclaiming he came “here to win, and win right now." General manager Marty Hurney danced around the question two weeks ago, saying only that “we certainly had a lot of change." The Panthers have accumulated enough talent on offense around new quarterback Teddy Bridgewater o be competitive. The defense is more of a work in progress, and it's likely where the Panthers will concentrate their draft efforts.
