For what seems like the umpteenth year in a row, the Carolina Panthers are once again looking to find a viable No. 1 tight end. It has been an impossible situation since Greg Olsen left the team in 2020, and they are no closer to finding a long-term solution.

The Panthers’ tight end room was once again underwhelming in 2025. Tommy Tremble led the unit with 27 catches for 249 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
