Panthers Beat Writer for the Observer (#supportlocaljournalism) Alaina Getzenberg joins the show to give her initial impressions of Panthers training camp, why she's so impressed with Derrick Brown and lament why she didn't win best hair in high school - that'll make sense once you listen to the episode. They'll talk the differences between a Matt Rhule and Ron Rivera practice - it's faster! - whether or not Rhule likes the extra scrutiny that comes with running and NFL team and whether or not t...

Colin, Nikki & Josh discuss Josh's hairstyle, whether it's fair to judge new coaches strictly on their team's COVID preparedness, if Teddy Bridgewater has been given a fair shake as the newest quarterback of the Panthers and if it's time to start evaluating Matt Rhule yet. They'll also talk about how Teddy is always going to be tied to Cam, play a new game of Training Camp Jeopardy and bemoan the fact that neither Curtis Samuel nor Taylor Moton have been resigned yet.

They'll kick around the news of the week, including a brand new specialist unit joining the team for 2020, why they're worried more about a specific player opting out than any other one and revisit whether it's Marty or Matt Rhule making the decisions.

The Panthers added at least seven new defensive players last weekend - and the #OneDayContract crew has brought in former Panthers defensive end and 10-year vet Al Wallace to talk about how the Panthers remade their defense.

The draft is here! Co-Host of The Great British Drafting Show and draft guru Vincent Richardson joins the show to talk about whether or not the Panthers should trade down, where the threshold is if they do - there's a certain number they don't want to go below - and how many top-tier players there are in the 2020 Draft Class and how the Panthers can get one of them.

When the most iconic player in your franchise's history gets released, it's time for an emergency podcast and the #OneDayContract crew isn't going to let a little social distancing keep them from talking about what Cam Newton's legacy is in Carolina, what the plan is in free agency and whether or not they're tanking, retooling or what and just how long it's been since Josh has worn jeans as WFNZ's Josh Parcell joins the show live from his living room.

Formerly PanthersMax, now Max Henson, joins the show to talk what the Panthers plans are for free agency, who they think would be a good addition to the culture that Matt Rhule is trying to build, what the players gave up by signing the CBA, whether steak is too heavy for lunch and discuss the weird and wild time that the world is going through. The #OneDayContract tries to provide some distraction as they talk through the amount of Panthers players that listen to the podcast, answer a Twitter q...

Former Carolina Panthers offensive lineman and co-host of The Carolina Line Kevin Donnalley joins the One Day Contract crew to discuss ---- SIGH ---- the latest in the Cam Newton saga, whether they think the XFL is going to last and why it is so important to the NFL that it survives, whether the entire roster is on the trading block and if not, which players will be in Carolina next season. Oh, and yes, they're down with OPP. That's other people's processes - whether Matt Rhule and David Tepper ...

Panthers Bill joins the #OneDayContract crew to talk about if there's any chance that the new coaching staff is a roaring success, if there's any chance that Cam Newton takes the first snap of 2020 and if there's any chance he's forgotten how to be an actual writer. They'll talk about why Luke Kuechly retired, if this is going to be the 'new normal' in the NFL to see stars retiring early, whether he'd be able to transition to the Panthers sideline immediately and what his next steps might be.

New beat writer for the Charlotte Observer and the reason for the Panthers' five-game losing streak Alaina Getzenberg joins the show to talk why Cam had his surgery so late, the worst takes on ketchup you've ever heard, the great David Tepper Debate on what he was eating at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and why - again - it doesn't make any sense for the Panthers to go into 2020 hoping - not planning - that Cam Newton will be their QB.
