WR Xavier Legette's future with the Carolina Panthers is uncertain as training camp nears. He is under scrutiny following a disappointing 2025 season, where he saw a significant decrease in targets and receptions. With Jalen Coker securing a long-term contract and outperforming Legette, the 2024 first-round pick must show improvement to avoid being cut, similar to the fate of Jonathan Mingo. If Legette fails to secure a prominent role in the offense during camp, his position on the roster could be at risk.

- •Training camp performances will be crucial for Legette's roster spot.
