The Carolina Panthers decided to keep faith with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero. Head coach Dave Canales confirmed he was never under threat and even signed a contract extension after the 2024 campaign. After narrowly missing out on the Las Vegas Raiders' head-coaching gig, he'll be back for another go-around in 2026.
However, he will be without the services of his mentor and closest confidante.
According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Dom Capers has left the Panthers to take a senior defensive assistant position with the Cleveland Browns. This came out of leftfield, especially considering what a huge influence he's had on Evero throughout his coaching career.
