4 must-watch reunion games on Panthers schedule in 2020
By Dean Jones
The Carolina Panthers schedule promises to be a difficult one, but there are some intriguing reunion matchups that are going to be must-watch.
It is not going to be an easy ride on the Carolina Panthers schedule in 2020. This is due to a very strong series of opponents that makes it very difficult for a team in transition to secure a winning record.
One intriguing element to the Panthers schedule is the number of reunion games between current and ex-players. This will undoubtedly add to the excitement of the players involved individually.
Coming up against old NFL players and coaches is a standard part of the NFL. Many moves are made in free agency every year and this comes with plenty of roster turnover with almost every franchise.
This has been especially evident with the Panthers following the arrival of new head coach Matt Rhule. He signed a seven-year deal in Carolina and has begun the process of rebuilding the organization with a view to becoming a contender in the future.
While this is not expected to bring any immediate turnaround in fortunes. What is important regarding the 2020 season is that the team gels, shows promise, and picks up the odd win here and there to improve confidence.
The added spice of reunions with old teammates or coaches is bound to inspire those involved. Which could benefit or hinder the Panthers schedule depending on who wants it more.
Any sense of achievement the Panthers can get from their fixtures next season could speed up the timing of their transition. But if they emerge with a disappointing record despite low expectations it is going to leave more questions than answers.
Here are four must-watch reunion games on the Panthers schedule in 2020.
