Despite winning the NFC South in 2025, the Carolina Panthers didn't exactly have a perfect roster. Devin Lloyd and Jaelan Phillips were added in free agency to address the first two problems, but the final area was only partially addressed. The Panthers did add a pass catcher in the form of wide receiver Chris Brazzell II, but the tight end spot went untouched.

There is an air of excitement surrounding the defending NFC South champions.

A look at three Carolina Panthers players who could find themselves getting the boot via cut or trade before making it through the 2026 campaign.

The Carolina Panthers were widely expected to add an upgrade at the tight end position this offseason and instead stayed firm in believing what they had currently on the roster. One player is already looking to prove that decision was right.

Now that it's June, the Panthers can do some more manuevering if they want.

Carolina's three tight ends, Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans, return as NFL team's power trio.

Tommy Tremble is well-liked in Charlotte, but he's probably not going to be on the roster much longer.
