June 1 may become yet another must-see annual event for the NFL.
The post-June 1 designation officially went into effect on Monday, where we witnessed a flurry of activity. From the New York Giants bringing back three-time Pro Bowl wideout Odell Beckham Jr. to the Los Angeles Rams somehow swinging a deal for Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the New England Patriots’ reportedly closing in on Philadelphia Eagles receiver A.J. Brown, the league was quite busy throughout the day.
So, will the Carolina Panthers join in on the fun?
Well, maybe we shouldn’t set any expectations.
In the view of The Charlotte Observer‘s Mike Kaye, the defending NFC South champs seem content in what they’re working with heading into the new month. Here’s what Kaye posted to Twitter/X this morning:
#Panthers GM Dan Morgan and EVP of FO Brandt Tilis haven’t really taken advantage of the post-June 1 rules to this point in their joint tenure.
I wouldn’t expect that to change to this week. The read here is that they feel good about all the guys who would arguably be involved.

This time of year usually brings about some releases for teams looking to free up some extra salary cap space. While both seem unlikely to this point, two cut candidates for the Panthers could include tight end Tommy Tremble ($4 million in savings) and outside linebacker Pat Jones II ($4.75 million).
Carolina might also be keeping tabs on who is let go elsewhere. Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet, whose services may no longer be needed after the emergence of 2025 first-round pick Colston Loveland, has been repeatedly linked to the Panthers over the past few months.
But, again, don’t get your hopes up, Panthers fans. Morgan and Tilis still appear to be intent on staying the course.
