PANTHERS TO MAKE THREE WEST COAST TRIPS NEXT SEASON: Carolina's 2016 opponents were determined last week, but with the St. Louis Rams' receiving approval for relocation on Tuesday night, the travel plans will see a slight change. The Panthers are set to visit Seattle and Oakland next season, but the trip to Los Angeles means a third trip to the West Coast.
