This Panthers Confidential video is the gift that keeps on giving. The access that the production team was allowed has led to some very cool behind-the-scenes looks at the offseason process, including negotiations with tight end Dan Arnold’s agent and discussing the Teddy Bridgewater trade with the Broncos.
Here’s another interesting nugget. In this clip, Carolina takes a call from the Vikings while they were on the clock at No. 8 overall in the 2021 NFL draft. Minnesota offered three picks to move up – reportedly wanting to take Justin Fields – but the Panthers said no right away.
The #Vikings called the #Panthers on draft night and offered No. 14, No. 90 & No. 143 (video says 43 but Minnesota didn’t have that pick) in exchange for No. 8.
The move up would’ve been for either Justin Fields or Rashawn Slater.
