Jones missed most of last season with a back issue that he said included a portion of his vertebrae breaking off and winding up a nerve. He was emotional about being able to back on the field. Said injury was a “blessing” and gave him more appreciation for the game.

Roger Goodell on the potential for Charlote getting a Super Bowl: "I think if that growth continues (in city) that is probably somewhere down the line."

[Steve Reed @SteveReedAP]

David Tepper on what success looks like to him: "What it looks like, I have this other business I do, this investing business that I'm pretty good at. I'm viewed as one of the best in the world. The goal here (with the Panthers) is to be the best in the world."

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell "We aren't building stadiums anymore, we are building communities."
