Carolina Panthers Schedule 2020 Predicted record: 6-10 Last season:5-11 Opening at home against a Raiders team that also is in rebuilding mode with three straight losing seasons gives coach Matt Rhule a chance to win his first NFL game and set the tone for a very young roster.

Week-17: L Saints take care of Panthers 42-10, still hope for playoff bye Drew Brees threw for 253 yards and three touchdowns, Alvin Karmara ran for two scores and A.J. Klein returned an interception for a touchdown as the Saints handed the Panthers their eighth straight loss. The only thing that went right for the Panthers (5-11) was Christain McCaffrey joining Roger Craig and Marshall Faulk as the third player in NFL history to record 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving in the same season.
How Christian McCaffrey and his brothers are staying football-ready There's a public park next to the Colorado home of Ed and Lisa McCaffrey. It is on this field where Christian, the 23-year-old All-Pro running back for the Carolina Panthers; Dylan, 21, a junior quarterback for the University of Michigan; and Luke, 19, a sophomore quarterback for the University of Nebraska, work out daily with their three-time Super Bowl champion father, who is the head football coach at the University of Northern Colorado. .
Panthers owner optimistic for NFL games with fans
Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper believes there should be enough coronavirus tests by the fall so that NFL teams can play games in stadiums with some fans. "You won't be playing having full stadiums, but that doesn't mean you can't have some fans in the stadium either," Tepper told CNBC on Wednesday. "If you're comfortable being in a closed airplane for a cross-country trip, 18 inches apart, maybe with two seats in between you and being 5 feet away from each other, you might be comfortable in an open-air stadium." The Panthers are one of 20 NFL teams with open-air stadiums. Five more have retractable roofs. The NFL hasn't officially said when players and team personnel can return to their facilities for offseason workouts, but the league did release the 2020 schedule last week, with games beginning the second week in September.
Here's how the Panthers are handling ticket sales now that the NFL schedule is out: ‘'Full refunds will be available if the NFL or the team cancels a game and it cannot be replayed, or if it is played under conditions that prohibit fans from attending. If a game is postponed or rescheduled, tickets are valid for the new date.''
Panthers owner David Tepper said last year the 55 acres on which the Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Company operated just down the street from Bank of America Stadium might be a good spot for a new domed stadium in his 10-year plan. That land will now be available as the company, according to the Charlotte Observer, announced it was moving to Stanly County.
Cam Newton's complicated NFL free agency: Why it's not simple and what's next Newton turned 31 on Monday, which is by no means an advanced age for an NFL quarterback. He's a former league MVP who has taken a team to the Super Bowl and, just two years ago, was having one of the better seasons of his career before shoulder and foot injuries derailed him. .
Anthony Lynn: Chargers considered signing Cam Newton Newton, 31, missed 14 games last season because of a foot injury that required surgery, and he also has battled a shoulder injury in recent years. He remains unsigned since being released by Carolina on March 24. .
The Carolina Panthers are looking at early June for possibly re-opening their facilities, a team spokes person said. The NFL is allowing teams to re-open facilities today, but that is subject to the discretion of the team with consideration for local and state regulations.
The Panthers will send a representative to Darlington Raceway for Sunday's NASCAR race to see how the track handles a return to racing, NASCAR's Steve O'Donnell told NBC's Nate Ryan during a Friday episode of "NASCAR America at Home." Track president Kerry Tharp told ESPN.com Carolina's director of security will be present to see how the operation works after a two-month layoff. O'Donnell said representatives from the NBA and IndyCar also have inquired.

Carolina Panthers agree to deal with CB Eli Apple The Carolina Panther have agreed to a deal with cornerback Eli Apple, the team announced Thursday. Apple had agreed to a one-year contract with the Las Vegas Raiders on March 18, but the sides could not finalize the deal and he again became a free agent on April 2, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Apple has shown both great potential and some inconsistency while starting 51 games over his four-year career with the New York Giants and New Orleans Saints. He has three interceptions and 33 passes defensed.
