The Carolina Panthers stumbled to a 7-9 record in 2018, just one year removed from a solid 2017 campaign in which they went 11-5 and made the postseason. One way to reflect on the year-over-year decline is to evaluate which players from the 2017 squad the Panthers actively chose to not bring back this year (i.e. traded or didn’t re-sign).
With that in mind here is the recap of the 2017 offensive players who saw at least a decent amount of playing time and how much (or little) the team missed them this year.
