 Julius Peppers - DLFeb. 9 - 9:04 am et
During a radio interview that aired Tuesday morning, Julius Peppers said he doesn't want a long-term extension from the Panthers.
Panthers beat writer Darin Gantt says "it's becoming more and more clear that Peppers isn't going to be here next year." Peppers is upset that the Panthers are giving him and his agent the "silent treatment." Gantt suggests that the Panthers should put the franchise tag on Peppers with designs on trading him. The Eagles, Patriots and Falcons are rumored as possible landing spots.

 Ed Johnson - DLFeb. 9 - 8:54 am et
Former Colts DT Ed Johnson visited with the Panthers last week.
Johnson was released by the Colts in October because of weight and effort issues. Panthers defensive coordinator Ron Meeks coached Johnson in Indy and Carolina was likely just kicking the tires to see where Johnson is at mentally. Their defensive line was ravaged by injuries last season.

 Hollis Thomas - DLFeb. 6 - 10:53 am et
Panthers DT Hollis Thomas is not expected to be back with the team in 2010.
The massive Thomas immediately stepped into the starting lineup for the Panthers after being signed in Week 5. At 36, he was a quality one-year fill-in for a Carolina defensive line plagued by injuries in 2009, but the Panthers have younger alternatives for 2010 and beyond. His career could be finished.

 Dante Wesley - DBFeb. 6 - 10:41 am et
The Panthers are expected to try and re-sign special teamer/safety Dante Wesley if the price is right.
With all of Carolina's injuries on the defensive side of the ball in 2009, Wesley saw extensive action as a hybrid linebacker/defensive back in Ron Meeks' defense. He is also a quality special teams player and is known for laying that vicious, illegal hit on Bucs PR Clifton Smith in October. All in all, the Panthers would like for him to return to the team.

 Tyler Brayton - DLFeb. 6 - 10:34 am et
The Panthers are expected to re-sign veteran DE Tyler Brayton for 2010.
Brayton resurrected his career in Carolina in 2008 and the Panthers love his work ethic and high motor playing style. He also said last season that he would be "heartbroken" if the Panthers didn't bring him back. Brayton, 30, notched five sacks and 45 tackles in 15 games in 2009.

 DeAngelo Williams - RBFeb. 3 - 10:32 am et
DeAngelo Williams said the ankle injury that kept him out of Weeks 16 and 17 is completely healed.
It better be, because Williams played in the Pro Bowl. The ankle won't be an issue at all this offseason, but Jonathan Stewart's emergence will be. Stewart had 331 yards on 44 carries over the final two weeks of the year and he could very well be a better option for the Panthers in 2010. We'd expect an even timeshare at the very least.

 Julius Peppers - DLFeb. 1 - 8:34 am et
Julius Peppers' agent, Carl Carey, doesn't think his client will be back with the Panthers next season.
Carey said the Panthers have "not made a single inquiry this offseason" about Peppers, an impending unrestricted free agent. "Julius wants to thank the Carolina fans and know their support has meant a lot to him over the years," Carey said. Peppers will fetch a hefty price tag on the open market in an uncapped year, with the Eagles, Falcons and Patriots among possible landing spots.

 Julius Peppers - DLJan. 31 - 11:55 am et
Julius Peppers said he "doesn't have a preference" about where he plays next season.
"I'm just trying to get on a team right now," Peppers said. "I just want to get a contract." Peppers' fate for 2010 is still very much up in the air. The Panthers could pay an absurd $20.1 million to put the franchise tag on Peppers again, do a long-term deal or let him walk without any compensation.

 Matt Moore - QBJan. 30 - 7:23 pm et
According to beat writer Steve Reed, Matt Moore is not a "slam dunk" as the Panthers' starting quarterback in 2010.
John Fox has been loyal to a fault with his veterans, but we have a hard time believing a washed-up Jake Delhomme has a legit chance to win an open competition. Though Panthers are expected to "add a younger quarterback to the mix as well," Moore has to be considered the favorite to open Week 1 as the starter.

 Josh McCown - QBJan. 27 - 10:09 pm et
The Panthers are not expected to re-sign backup quarterbacks Josh McCown and A.J. Feeley.
McCown's season ended early due to knee and foot injuries, while Feeley spent virtually the entire year as Carolina's third-string signal caller. Feeley could appeal to the Rams, whose offensive coordinator tutored him in Philly, or the Eagles, who are likely to move Mike Vick and/or Donovan McNabb.

 Muhsin Muhammad - WRJan. 24 - 9:05 am et
Beat writer Darin Gantt says it's possible that the Panthers will re-sign free agent Muhsin Muhammad to come back in a reduced role.
The Panthers can't bring Moose back as a starter and expect Steve Smith to have a productive season. We're guessing that Muhammad, 37 next season, will simply move on -- assuming another team will have him. If he comes back, look for him to be more of a mentor to a receiver they draft and/or Dwayne Jarrett.
Source: Rock Hill Herald
 Dwayne Jarrett - WRJan. 24 - 9:01 am et
Dwayne Jarrett will arrive in Charlotte a month earlier than required in order to start getting ready for the 2010 season.
The highly disappointing Jarrett sees an opportunity for playing time and also likely wants to make a good first impression on new receivers coach Tyke Tolbert. Still, his play to date inspires no confidence that Jarrett can secure a starting role opposite Steve Smith. The Panthers need to address the wide receiver position in the draft or free agency.

 Jonathan Stewart - RBJan. 21 - 8:57 am et
Agent Ben Dogra confirmed that Jonathan Stewart's left Achilles surgery was designed to alleviate "lingering pain."
Stewart "re-tweaked" the ongoing Achilles injury in the season finale against the Saints. While it's worth noting that Stewart hasn't missed a game in his first two seasons, an Achilles procedure will have him limited in the offseason for the third straight year.
Source: Charlotte Observer
 Jonathan Stewart - RBJan. 20 - 5:36 pm et
The agent for Jonathan Stewart (Achilles' surgery) said Wednesday that his client should be ready for May minicamps.
Agents are always too optimistic about their clients, so this doesn't mean much. Agent Ben Dogra did reveal that Stewart also had surgery on his pinkie finger Wednesday, though the latter procedure isn't a concern. Stewart remains likely to be limited all offseason, and perhaps into training camp.
Source: Charlotte Observer
 Jonathan Stewart - RBJan. 20 - 8:36 am et
Jonathan Stewart "tweeted" that he's undergoing surgery on his foot Wednesday.
Exact details aren't available, but the procedure is likely related to his troublesome Achilles' tendon, an injury that resulted from Stewart trying to overcompensate for his college turf toe. Stewart was barely able to practice all year, but wasn't hindered by the heel until the season finale. Any sort of Achilles' surgery is a big concern, so this will be a fantasy-related situation to monitor all offseason.

 Dante Wesley - DBJan. 17 - 9:18 am et
Beat writer Darin Gantt speculates that the Panthers will try to retain unrestricted free agent S Dante Wesley.
Wesley is a core special teamer that played a little more than usual on defense this season.
Source: Rock Hill Herald
 Julius Peppers - DLJan. 12 - 5:45 pm et
Beat writer Scott Fowler speculates that Julius Peppers has "about a 40 percent chance" to stay with the Panthers in 2010.
The Panthers won't let their franchise player walk without receiving compensation, so the belief must be that there's a team willing to meet Carolina's asking price while also extending Peppers long-term. In which case, we'd put the odds in favor of Peppers returning to Carolina for another season.
Source: Charlotte Observer
 Jake Delhomme - QBJan. 12 - 10:30 am et
The Charlotte Observer's Scott Fowler expects Jake Delhomme to enter Panthers training camp in 2010 as the team's No. 2 quarterback.
Delhomme's 4-7 record in 2009, compared to Matt Moore's 4-1, is probably enough for Moore to take first-team reps throughout the offseason. Despite his declining physical skills and age (35), Delhomme will be on the roster.

 Panthers Defense - TMJan. 10 - 11:51 am et
Panthers coach John Fox was given the option to void the final year of his contract, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Fox is heading into the final year of his contract and could have bailed if a better deal came his way. It didn't and he's very likely to be back with the Panthers in 2010. Look for Fox to be one of the hottest coaching names out there a year from now.

 Leonard Little - DLJan. 8 - 2:42 pm et
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch suggests that impending free agent Leonard Little could land with the Panthers in 2010.
Little lives in Charlotte, and Panthers DL coach Brian Baker was on the Rams' staff from 2006-2008 under Scott Linehan. Julius Peppers is also a free agent, and the 35-year-old Little wouldn't command a hefty contract.
