Why Dave Canales is retaining Ejiro Evero as the Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator in 2025

Locked On Panthers - Daily Podcast On The Carolina Panthers

Despite having the worst scoring defense in the history of the NFL, Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero will be returning for his third season with the team. Panthers head coach Dave Canales stated that he is committed to Evero's defensive philosophy and to developing the defense to where he believes it will be in the future. Julian Council explains why Canales made this decision.

Bryce Young proved the doubters wrong by turning around his season—and consequently, his career in Carolina—over the past two months. Julian reflects on Young's final numbers and what the Panthers can expect from him moving forward.

The Panthers cleaned out their lockers on Monday, with several players uncertain about their futures. Julian discussed what could be next for Adam Thielen, Austin Corbett, Miles Sanders, and Shaq Thompson as the organization begins to evaluate the roster for next season.
