The Carolina Panthers’ loss this past weekend dropped them to 1-5 and delivered them a bevy of unanswerable questions.
The good news?
Charlotte Observer reporters Mike Kaye and Alex Zietlow have many thoughts on how the Panthers can forge forward through the 2024 season.
In the latest episode of Processing Blue — The Observer podcast that covers all the NFL happenings inside and outside Bank of America Stadium — the Kaye-Zietlow duo discusses possible trade scenarios worth contemplating. The two also break down all of the injury decisions facing head coach Dave Canales and briefly preview the team’s Week 7 opponent in the Washington Commanders.
