The Carolina Panthers ended their offseason program on June 14. Here's a look at how they fared:
Offseason goals: Improving the overall speed on offense and the consistency of quarterback Cam Newton under new offensive coordinator Norv Turner to help the Panthers keep up with the explosive units of New Orleans and Atlanta in the NFC South. Newton's stats in particular have gone down since his MVP season of 2015, when he threw a career-best 35 touchdowns. He's had 41 touchdown passes and 30 interceptions the past two seasons. Without Newton on top of his game, there wasn't enough firepower to keep up with defending South champ New Orleans, which went 3-0 against Carolina and scored at least 31 points in all three meetings last season.
