Joey Slye - Could face job challenge Panthers GM Scott Fitterer said the Panthers like Slye but will continue to look at other kickers, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact Slye is the only kicker on the roster, despite making just 79.4 percent of his field-goal attempts through two seasons. He does have a huge leg, but even then, he went just 1-of-6 from 50-plus last year, down from 8-of-11 in 2019. He's now been struggling in the preseason, and the Panthers seem to be getting nervous with their opener less than three weeks away. The team will continue to try out kickers and may actually sign one soon.

Robby Anderson - Signs two-year extension Anderson is signing a two-year, $29.5 million extension with the Panthers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Anderson signed a two-year, $20 contract last spring and responded with his first 1,000-yard season. The Panthers still have plenty of weaknesses, but wide receiver should be an annual strength with Anderson, DJ Moore and Terrace Marshall all under team control through 2023. It remains to be seen if QB Sam Darnold and OC Joe Brady are able to keep all three receivers well fed in an offense that also has volume hog Christian McCaffrey and a potential TE upgrade in Dan Arnold.
