In this series we take a look at the offseason moves made by the Saints' NFC South division rivals. Today we scout the Carolina Panthers.
In 2015, the Carolina Panthers ended the season with an astonishing 15-1 record, their third consecutive NFC South title, and a Super Bowl appearance. Carolina was 5-1 in division games, including a 2-0 record vs. the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers had the 11th ranked offense and 6th ranked defense (both in yards) in 2015. Head coach Ron Rivera and starting quarterback Cam Newton return for their sixth season in Charlotte.
