Defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero isn’t the only Carolina Panthers<\/a> staffer who’s drawing some outside interest<\/a> this offseason.<\/p>\n

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Washington Commanders<\/a> have requested permission<\/a> to interview Panthers assistant quarterbacks coach Mike Bercovici. The Commanders, per Schultz, are looking to speak with Bercovici regarding their quarterbacks coach position under newly and first-time offensive coordinator David Blough.<\/p>\n

Carolina hired<\/a> Bercovici in 2023, as an offensive assistant for former head coach Frank Reich’s staff. The former pro quarterback would be promoted to his assistant quarterbacks coach\/pass game specialist role for 2025\u2014helping Panthers starter Bryce Young record career-highs in completion percentage (63.6), passing yards (3,011), passing touchdowns (23) and passer rating (87.8).<\/p>\n

Bercovici, a University of Arizona State<\/a> alum, also served as an assistant for the Sun Devils from 2019 to 2021\u2014where he crossed paths with Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels.<\/p>\n
