Former Carolina Panthers EDGE rusher Haason Reddick will take part in Super Bowl 57 on Sunday as a member of his hometown Philadelphia Eagles. Reddick, in his lone season in Carolina, led the team with 11.0 sacks. He's followed up on that effort with 16.0 sacks + 3.5 during the Eagles postseason run to the Super Bowl. So why would the Panthers let a talented player like Reddick walk? Reddick explained why he didn't return to Carolina and it wasn't a lack of interest. Julian Council explains why the Panthers inability to re-sign Reddick is good and bad.

Panthers LB Shaq Thompson is a strong candidate to be a cap casualty as he carries a $24.4M cap charge in 2023. Thompson was on Twitter on Monday interacting with several fans including those who questioned why he wasn't a Frank Reich's introductory press conference. Julian ponders Shaq's future and whether fans understand why it'll be difficult for Thompson to return.

Plus, Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks lands as the DC for the 49ers. Julian explains why this could be for the best for Wilks and Carolina long-term.
