This latest offseason was yet another example of the front office shooting its own roster in the foot. After an aggressive free agency period and a (tentatively) quality draft class, the Panthers started sewing the seeds of their own destruction by releasing Jadeveon Clowney for no good reason at all at the end of May.

The Panthers are 2-2 against the spread this season; those came when they defeated the Falcons and then when they came five points short against the Cardinals, who were favored by seven at game time. The Dolphins, similarly, are 2-2 against the spread.

Head coach Dave Canales provided injury updates to two key Panthers playmakers Monday. How might their potential returns impact the roster?

Renfrow's comments aren't intended to be an indictment of the front office, but it's not wrong to ready them that way, either.

Panthers RB Rico Dowdle advised his former team to "buckle up" for their upcoming matchup. Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer responded to the warning.
