The Carolina Panthers extended defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero last year. It's no surprise they kept that secret after his unit's historically bad campaign, but it looks like a shrewd move in the grand scheme of things.
Evero got a better tune out of his defense in 2025. This was a positive for the Panthers, but it also means that they may be closer than ever to losing the progressive play-caller to a head-coaching opportunity.
According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Las Vegas Raiders are meeting in person with Evero in South Florida next week.
