Steve Smith, the onetime NFL bad boy who had seemingly cleaned up his act and his image, suffered a relapse and went ballistic on a teammate again, and Fox had no choice but to suspend the receiver in an effort to maintain control of his team. Now the Panthers will have to try to win their first two games ... ccluff@comcast.net (Chris Cluff) Carolina Panthers 2008-08-05T05:02:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/12077 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/12077 Carolina and third-round linebacker Dan Connor agreed to a three-year deal Thursday, highlighting an active day for the Panthers.

A petition started by Panthers fans through a group called "Fans 4 The Logo" has been circulating, garnering over 1,700 signatures from fans calling for the inclusion of the team's logo on the Bank of America Stadium turf. The topic is being discussed on Carolina Huddle, a Panthers fan forum. ... ncoolong@gmail.com (Neal Coolong) Carolina Panthers 2008-06-20T09:08:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/11131 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/11131 When the Carolina Panthers released running back DeShaun Foster in February, DeAngelo Williams had to be licking his chops. After two years sharing time with Foster, it looked like Williams would finally get to carry the rushing load full time. Well, that lasted all of two months. Now Williams, the team’s first-round pick in 2006, is looking at yet another backfield timeshare system after the ... ccluff@comcast.net (Chris Cluff) Carolina Panthers 2008-05-05T03:53:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/11029 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/11029 Let's take a different tack this year after Day 1 of the draft, shall we? It takes years (or at a season) to see how this talent will all plan out, injuries happen, personality conflicts arise ... a million things can take place before opening day, much less Hall of Fame Day 2027, so this year, sobriety will rule and no immediate knee-jerk reaction will be presented here.

Carr only made it through one season of a two-year deal worth $6 million. He was relegated to third string after he threw for three touchdowns, five interceptions and a miserable 105 yards per game in the six contests he ... info@realfootball365.com (Hugo Guzman) Carolina Panthers 2008-02-29T23:49:41-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/10477 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/10477 It looks like the Carolina Panthers will have both tackles back next season. Just a couple of days after cutting linebacker Dan Morgan and guard Mike Wahle to gain salary-cap space, the Panthers cemented a deal with Travelle Wharton that will keep the left tackle in Carolina for the next six years. The deal reportedly is worth $36 million, with $12 million in bonuses and $19 million due to ... ccluff@comcast.net (Chris Cluff) Carolina Panthers 2008-02-18T03:07:49-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/7690 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/7690 The Carolina Panthers have a lot of decisions to make this month as they try to figure out how to fix a team that finished 7-9 and out of the playoffs for the second straight year. The Panthers already have begun to make the first moves in what figures to be a very busy offseason: they re-signed defensive tackle Damione Lewis to a three-year contract and released linebacker Dan Morgan and guard ... ccluff@comcast.net (Chris Cluff) Carolina Panthers 2008-02-13T03:41:58-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/7277 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/7277 Carolina quarterback Vinny Testaverde practiced with the Panthers on Tuesday after missing last week with soreness. But don't expect Testaverde to play Saturday against Dallas. Matt Moore, the undrafted rookie, should start instead. Commentary: Testaverde has gone through about all of his nine lives as an NFL QB. Sitting out for soreness is a sign of an old man.

There is no word on whether he will be well enough to play Saturday against Dallas. Commentary: Smith needs to take his medicine and get better. This is likely a minor situation but deserves watching.

David Carr has lost his confidence. Six years of nothing but beatings and boos will do that to a quarterback. In Houston, which took Carr No.1 overall in the 2002 draft (the first pick in franchise history), he never had much help from his offensive line. And that's being kind. Carr was the most-sacked QB in the NFL during his ... ccluff@comcast.net (Chris Cluff) Carolina Panthers 2007-12-06T03:27:31-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/6409 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/6409 Keary Colbert or Drew Carter? That is the question. Neither one of the two wide receivers has separated himself from the other since they were drafted in 2004, and both are still trying to prove they can be the complement to the Carolina Panthers' star receiver, Steve Smith. Colbert had a good rookie season after the team drafted him in the third round.

Just days before they open the season against St. Louis, the Panthers are still putting together the back half of their secondary. This long, drawn transition all started when Carolina declined to re-sign Shaun Williams and Colin Branch in the offseason ... ccluff@comcast.net (Chris Cluff) Carolina Panthers 2007-09-07T03:12:09-05:00
