Panthers - Team History
Carolina Panthers, professional football team and one of five teams
in the Western Division of the National Football Conference (NFC)
of the National Football League (NFL). Under the league’s realignment
plan, which will take affect in 2002, the Panthers will play in the
South Division of the NFC. The Panthers play at Ericsson Stadium in
Charlotte, North Carolina, and wear uniforms of black, blue, and silver.
During the 1996 season
the Panthers won their division and qualified for the playoffs.
It was only their second year of existence, and this was the earliest
an NFL expansion team had ever encountered such success. During
the previous year, the team won seven games—the most ever
by an NFL expansion team.
In 1993 Panthers founder
and owner Jerry Richardson was awarded the first new NFL franchise
since 1976, when the Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers had
joined the league. Two years later, Carolina and fellow expansion
team Jacksonville Jaguars began play. Former Pittsburgh Steelers
assistant coach Dom Capers was named the Panthers’ first head
coach.
After losing the first
5 games of the 1995 season, Carolina won 7 of its last 11 games
behind wide receivers Mark Carrier and Willie Green. During the
season the Panthers defeated the San Francisco 49ers to become the
first expansion team ever to beat a defending league champion.
In 1996 the Panthers
stunned the NFL by winning 12 games and capturing the NFC Western
Division title. Quarterback Kerry Collins and running back Anthony
Johnson anchored the offense. Carolina put together the second-best
defense in the NFC, featuring three Pro Bowl linebackers: Kevin
Greene, Lamar Lathon, and Sam Mills. Michael Bates was the league’s
top kickoff returner, averaging 30.2 yards per return. Placekicker
John Kasay led the league in scoring, converting on a league-record
37 field goals. Capers was named coach of the year. After capturing
the division title, Carolina defeated the Dallas Cowboys in the
playoffs before losing the NFC Championship Game to the eventual
Super Bowl champions, the Green Bay Packers.
The franchise experienced
its worst year ever in 2001 when it went 1-15 and lost 15 consecutive
games, an NFL record. A turnaround came quickly, however. In 2003,
under head coach John Fox, the team finished the regular season
11-5 and qualified for the playoffs as the winner of the NFC’s
South Division. During the regular season and in the playoffs, the
Panthers won several come-from-behind games. They advanced to Super
Bowl XXXVIII and appeared on the verge of another comeback when
they tied the New England Patriots with about one minute left to
play. The Patriots kicked a field goal with about four seconds left
and won the game in one of the most dramatic finishes in Super Bowl
history.
2004 Super Bowl XXXVIII
Lost to New England Patriots, 32-29
<p><p>Now that Julius Peppers has signed his one-year tender with the Carolina Panthers the big question is whether the team will be able to sign him to a long-term contract.</p>
<p>That's significant because if they can lock him up it would free up valuable salary cap space in 2009 to sign some role players.</p>
<p>The Panthers have until July 15 to sign him to a long-term deal. Once that date passes, the team cannot negotiate a new deal with him until after the 2009 season.</p> <p>As it stands now the Panthers are less than $1 million under the salary cap meaning they haven't had a chance to re-sign any players or add any free agents this offseason.</p> <p>In fact, the Panthers weren't even able to offer reliable long snapper Jason Kyle a contract, prompting him to sign with the...
The Carolina Panthers are taking another chance with a former minor league baseball player. The franchise that once drafted and started quarterback Chris Weinke claimed rookie tight end Andrew Davie off waivers from the New York Jets on Thursday. The 26-year-old spent four seasons in the St. Louis Cardinals farm system before switching to football.
The Carolina Panthers have waived undrafted rookie linebackers Mike Juergens and Brit Miller. The moves on Tuesday create half the roster space needed for Carolina's four remaining unsigned draft picks. Juergens played at Wyoming and Miller at Illinois. They were signed days after the draft and participated in the offseason minicamp and optional workouts.
The Carolina Panthers have signed the first of their seven draft picks, reaching a deal with seventh-round choice Captain Munnerlyn. The Panthers on Wednesday also waived undrafted rookie running back Markus Manson and cornerback Reggie Sullivan. The 5-foot-8 Munnerlyn is expected to compete for Carolina's kick returning job and for a spot at backup cornerback.
Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart says he'll be ready for the start of training camp after being sidelined all offseason with pain in his left Achilles' tendon.

Sure, Larry Beavers didn't face the best competition in college. But still, 39.5 yards per kickoff return and 29.2 on punts with eight combined touchdowns last fall? "One little hole, I shot through there," Beavers said Monday, grinning. "With my speed, it was hard for people to catch me.
Julius Peppers doesn't want the job and rookie Everette Brown isn't ready yet. Enter Charles Johnson, Carolina's starting right defensive end -- for now. The tentative promotion is another accomplishment following a rough beginning for the Panthers' former third-round pick, who was inactive for the first 13 games of his rookie year.
