Every organization in the NFL will be asking themselves how they can have a Cincinnati Bengals-style turnaround. What is the blueprint for the Carolina Panthers? Has Matt Rhule already shown through two seasons that his rebuild isn't going to work? According to The Ringer's Kevin Clark that may be the case.

The Bengals made key free agency signings without retaining two of their in-house free agents. The Panthers have several players, mainly on the defensive side of the ball, headed toward free agency. Can the Panthers afford to take the Bengals approach? If not, who should be prioritized? Can the Panthers defense sustain a Top 5 ranking with these loses?

The Carolina Panthers added a new OL coach but lost its WR coach on the same day. Where do the Rhule go from here?
