Is Dane Jackson the favorite to be Panthers’ CB2 in 2024?

The Athletic’s Joe Person believes the Panthers will give free-agent signee Dane Jackson a chance to win the CB2 job this season.

When it comes to who will start opposite of Jaycee Horn in the Carolina Panthers secondary this season, the answer may already be on the roster.

All things considered, president of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan set his Panthers up quite nicely during the transition from free agency to the 2024 draft. The front office filled a handful of pressing needs—signing guards Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis, trading for former Pro Bowl wideout Diontae Johnson and convincing pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney to come home—in allowing them to pick the best players available later this month.

But what about the cornerback position? Not only did Carolina ship off a longtime starter in Donte Jackson, but they also added just one player to the mix—Dane Jackson.

But according to Joe Person of The Athletic, Jackson may be all the Panthers need to fill the CB2 spot. In his latest seven-round mock draft, Person notes that the team will give the free-agent signee “a chance to win” the starting spot.

That may not be a shock considering Morgan’s history with Jackson, whom he “pounded the table for” a few years back. While serving as the director of player personnel for the Buffalo Bills, Morgan pushed for the selection of the Pittsburgh corner in the seventh round of the 2020 draft.

Since then, Jackson has recorded 28 starts over his 52 NFL outings.

Other than Jackson, the current depth chart has a handful of more inexperienced options for the outside. Discounting Troy Hill—who will man the nickel—the Panthers could look to D’Shawn Jamison, Dicaprio Bootle and Lamar Jackson.

Carolina Panthers Honors: Our 2023 season awards

If the NFL isn’t going to honor individuals from the 2023 Panthers, then we will!

NFL Honors, the league’s annual awards show, will be held tonight out of Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas. And, uh, not that they deserve it—but this year’s Carolina Panthers won’t be well-represented.

So, somebody’s gonna honor our guys, right?

Here are our awards and winners from their 2023 season:

Top takeaways from Panthers’ snap counts in Week 4 loss to Vikings

What do the snap count totals from Week 4 tell us about the Carolina Panthers’ frustrating loss to the Minnesota Vikings?

Let’s try to dissect the biggest takeaways from those tallies in the 21-13 defeat:

8 Panthers get new uniform numbers on Wednesday

Eight players on the Panthers’ active roster donned new digits on Wednesday.

While we were busy putting much of our attention on Brian Burns and his fellow team captains, quite a few Carolina Panthers debuted some new digits on Wednesday.

Here are the uniform number updates for eight of the active roster’s players:

49ers DC Steve Wilks was ‘very impressed’ by new Panthers CB D’Shawn Jamison

Former Panthers interim HC and new 49ers DC Steve Wilks had some high praise for CB D’Shawn Jamison earlier this month.

Want to know a little bit about about new Carolina Panthers cornerback D’Shawn Jamison? Then how about we look to an old friend?

Jamison was one of three players claimed off waivers by Carolina on Wednesday. But before finding himself a new home, he worked under former Panthers interim head coach and current San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks—who had some high praise for the 24-year-old earlier this month.

“Very impressed. Very impressed,” Wilks told reporters back on Aug. 4. “And I think some of the receivers were talkin’ about him the other day. He has definitely made strides from the spring and just came back and build on his repertoire and just his toolbox.

“I think the one thing that he’s doin’ with his technique—he’s stayin’ more square in his backpedal, which is allowing him to be able to see and visualize more of the field, route concepts, see the quarterback. And he’s doin’ a great job of breakin’ on the ball. His man-to-man technique, he’s great at the line of scrimmage and he’s doin’ a good job at the top of the route. The point of emphasis that I talk about all the time—that’s where we gotta win. So you see him doin’ a lot of good things.”

A standout defender at the University of Texas, Jamison signed with the 49ers as an undrafted rookie this past spring. The 5-foot-9, 186-pounder, however, would eventually be waived by the team during this week’s final roster cuts.

But if Wilks’ endorsement is any good (and we know that he carries quite the track record), then the Panthers may have found themselves a hidden gem.

Panthers claim 3 players off waivers on Wednesday

The Panthers claimed a trio of players off waivers following Tuesday’s roster cuts.

So, this is why we use the “initial” in initial 53-man rosters.

Less than 24 hours after gathering their first set of 53 players, the Carolina Panthers plucked three new names off waivers on Wednesday. Those fresh faces—who were all cut prior to Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline—include offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton, linebacker Claudin Cherelus and cornerback D’Shawn Jamison.

Throckmorton cracked into the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the New Orleans Saints in 2020. The University of Oregon product has appeared in 31 games over the past two seasons—with 12 starts at left guard, seven at right guard and one at left tackle.

Cherelus, who the Panthers saw a bit of at training camp, was just let go by the New York Jets. Another undrafted free agent, the 6-foot-2, 230-pounder was a standout defender at Alcorn State University.

Jamison, also an undrafted free agent, spent the offseason with the San Francisco 49ers. The 5-foot-9, 186-pounder also has experience as a return man, which may be something Carolina is still trying to figure out.

5 surprise cuts from the 49ers on NFL roster cut down day

As the 49ers trimmed their roster down to 53-players, here’s a look at five surprises on cut down day.

Tuesday marked the NFL’s final deadline for teams to cut their rosters down to only 53 players. With a roster built for a potential deep run in the postseason, there weren’t many shocking cuts coming out of Santa Clara on Tuesday.

With strong performances in the preseason and standout practices in training camp, there were a group of players who looked like they could be heading toward a spot on the San Francisco 49ers’ final 54-man roster only to be let go on Tuesday.

Here’s a look at five players who were surprise cuts from the 49ers on cut deadline day in the NFL.
