Bears face Commanders in 2026 opener in 66 days

The 2026 NFL season opener is 66 days away. This year's countdown highlights the top 100 Panthers of all time, with Sean Gilbert ranked 66th. Gilbert, a defensive tackle, played three seasons for the Panthers after signing a seven-year, $46.5 million contract in 1998, following a holdout with Washington over contract disputes. He recorded 12.5 sacks and two interceptions with Carolina before injuries limited his play in 2001 and 2002, leading to his release in 2003.
