The Carolina Panthers' recent decisions, including benching quarterback Bryce Young and releasing key players, have left fans puzzled about the team's direction. With both a weak edge rotation and tight end room, the moves raise several questions.

Jordan Matthews, a standout in the preseason, and Eku Leota, the sack leader this year, were let go, leaving only three edge rushers on the roster. The lack of clarity regarding the strategy under team owner David Tepper has led to criticisms about the franchise's long-standing roster management issues.
