Panthers projected offense figures to feature a new quarterback, and a retooled line
The Panthers offense made major changes at quarterback and across the offensive line. Headlined by No. 6 overall pick Ikem Ekwonu, Carolina will likely start three new offensive lineman compared to last year’s team. Trading for Baker Mayfield opened a quarterback competition in Carolina for the first time since 2003.
Mayfield is expected to win that battle and start Week 1 against his former team, the Cleveland Browns.
