  • Broncos' Sam Franklin: Signs one-year deal in Denver

    Rotowire
    The Broncos signed Franklin to a one-year contract Tuesday, Jon Heath of USA Today reports. Franklin, who spent the first five years of his NFL career in Carolina, suited up for 10 regular-season games with the Panthers in 2024. He played 236 snaps on special teams and just four snaps on defense in that span. Now, the 29-year-old safety will compete for a similar role in Denver.

  • Panthers' Nick Scott: Returning to Carolina

    Rotowire
    Scott and the Panthers have agreed upon a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Scott struggled in his first season with Carolina after signing a one-year deal last March, logging 30 tackles -- his fewest since 2020 -- and two defensed passes over 10 games. Part of the reason for his reduced numbers was injuries, as the Penn State product dealt with multiple issues that collectively caused him to miss seven games. Scott made four starts early in the campaign for the Panthers last year, but he finished the campaign playing exclusively on special teams. With Carolina's signing of Tre'von Moehrig in early March, Scott figures to serve as depth at safety this season while reprising his role as a core special-teamer.

  • Falcons' Jordan Fuller: Joins Atlanta

    Rotowire
    Fuller agreed to a one-year contract with the Falcons on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The 27-year-old safety will remain in the NFC South after spending his 2024 campaign with the Panthers. Fuller struggled with injuries last season, appearing in just nine games due to a hamstring injury. However, he played 1,007 defensive snaps across 17 games with the Rams in 2023, logging 94 total tackles, three interceptions and three forced fumbles. Fuller is now expected to start alongside Jessie Bates in the Atlanta secondary.

  • Bills' Dane Jackson: Signs with Buffalo

    Rotowire
    Jackson agreed to a one-year deal with the Bills on Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Jackson will return to Buffalo after spending one season in Carolina, where he played in nine games including three starts, following a hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve to begin the year. The 28-year-old corner is expected to provide much-needed production for Buffalo's secondary, a unit likely to add additional competition through free agency and/or the draft following the trade of Kaiir Elam and the expected departure of Rasul Douglas, who's an unrestricted free agent.

  • Titans' Xavier Woods: Signing with Tennessee

    Rotowire
    The Titans agreed to terms with Woods on a two-year, $10 million contract Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Woods started all 17 games for the Panthers last season and didn't miss a single defensive snap, playing all 1,218 downs on that side of the ball for Carolina. He finished the 2024 campaign with a career-high 119 tackles (72 solo) and six pass breakups, including three interceptions. Woods has 111 starts under his belt in the NFL and gives the Titans a dependable veteran presence on the back end of the defense.

  • Raiders' Lonnie Johnson : Finds new home in Las Vegas

    Rotowire
    The Raiders agreed to terms with Johnson on Monday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports. Johnson appeared in 15 games for the Panthers last season, though he saw just 13 snaps on defense and 339 on special teams. The 29-year-old defensive back figures to slot into a similar depth role with the Raiders next season.

  • Panthers' Shy Tuttle: Takes pay cut with Carolina

    Rotowire
    Tuttle agreed to a restructured contract with the Panthers on Monday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Tuttle is reportedly taking a $3.5 million pay cut to stay with the Panthers. He'll now earn $3 million in 2025, including $500,000 guaranteed. Tuttle started all 15 games in which he appeared last season, registering 46 tackles (22 solo), three pass breakups, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble. Carolina added free-agent pickups Tershawn Wharton and Bobby Brown to the defensive line mix Monday.

  • Panthers' Michael Jackson: Returning to Carolina

    Rotowire
    Jackson agreed to a two-year, $14.5-million contract with the Panthers on Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. It's a big payday for the 2019 fifth-round pick of the Cowboys, who has played on five teams since getting drafted and on one-year deals for the last three seasons. In 2024, Jackson earned a starting job with the Panthers and never gave it up, recording career highs in defensive snaps (1,140), tackles (76), pass breakups (17) and interceptions (two).

  • Panthers' Jaycee Horn: Signs huge four-year contract

    Rotowire
    Horn is signing a four-year extension with the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Schefter's initial report of a four-year, $100 million contract would make Horn the leader among defensive backs in average annual value. He's played just 37 games in four seasons since the Panthers took him eighth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, but they've apparently been happy with his performance, especially in 2024 when he had career highs for games played (15), tackles (68), pass defenses (13) and sacks (2.0) en route to his first Pro Bowl nomination. Horn is 25 years old and still has a chance to cement himself as one of the league's top cornerbacks, but he'll need to stay healthy for more than a few months at a time to earn that distinction.

  • Panthers' Trevin Wallace: Rehabbing after shoulder surgery

    Rotowire
    Panthers general manager Dan Morgan said Tuesday at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine that Wallace (shoulder) is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Morgan said Wallace is already rehabbing and out of his sling, so the 2024 third-round pick may not miss much of the offseason. He compiled 64 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles across 13 regular-season appearances as a rookie. With Carolina moving on from Shaq Thompson (Achilles), Wallace is a candidate to earn a starting spot at inside linebacker in Year 2.

  • Panthers' Shaq Thompson: Won't be re-signed by Carolina

    Rotowire
    The Panthers announced Monday that the team will not work to re-sign Thompson (Achilles) this offseason, instead allowing him to walk in free agency. Thompson, a 2015 first-round pick and Carolina's longest-tenured player, played out the 2024 campaign on a one-year, $3.1 million deal. He tallied 35 tackles (16 solo) across four-regular season appearances before suffering a torn Achilles, an injury which figures to significantly dampen his free-agent market. The veteran linebacker, who will turn 31 in April, also was limited to just two regular-season games in 2023 before suffering a fractured fibula.

  • Dane Jackson: Let go by Carolina

    Rotowire
    The Panthers released Jackson on Friday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Jackson struggled in his first season with the Panthers, appearing in just nine games and recording 23 total tackles and two passes defended. The veteran cornerback's playing time decreased as the year progressed; he played more than 50 percent of the team's defensive snaps just once over his last five appearances, which suggests Carolina is prioritizing youth in the secondary heading into 2025. Jackson, who posted 96 total tackles and 17 passes defended over 30 regular-season games with the Bills from 2022 to 2023, will likely have a fair share of suitors among teams in need of secondary help.

  • Panthers' Jaycee Horn: Past hip injury

    Rotowire
    Horn (hip) participated in the relay race and flag football events at the 2025 Pro Bowl Games, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports. The fourth-year corner out of South Carolina earned his first Pro Bowl selection after a strong 2024 campaign, during which he logged 68 tackles (49 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and 13 pass defenses (including one interception) across 15 regular-season games. Horn will be in the final year of his rookie contract in 2025, and his strong performance this past season could lead to an extension during the offseason.

  • Panthers' Caleb Farley: Plays nine games in 2024

    Rotowire
    Farley recorded 17 total tackles over nine games in 2024. Farley, a 2021 first-round pick from Virginia Tech, was added to the Panthers' practice squad in early October after being dropped by the Titans before the season. He was promoted to Carolina's active roster later that month, contributing on special teams and as a reserve cornerback. The 26-year-old played more than 70 percent of the Panthers' defensive snaps in the team's final two games, recording seven total tackles during that span. Now set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Farley will likely sign a one-year prove-it deal, having appeared in just 21 games throughout his four-year NFL career.

  • Panthers' Dane Jackson: Underwhelms in Carolina

    Rotowire
    Jackson recorded 23 total tackles and two passes defended over nine games in 2024. Jackson signed a two-year, $8.5 million deal with the Panthers last offseason after posting 96 total tackles, two forced fumbles and 17 passes defended, including two interceptions, over his final two seasons in Buffalo. The Pittsburgh product missed six of the Panthers' first seven games due to a hamstring injury and failed to find a rhythm in his first season in Carolina, playing a reserve role when healthy. With Michael Jackson set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Jackson could see an increased role on the Panthers' defense in 2025, potentially starting opposite Jaycee Horn.

  • Panthers' Nick Scott: Struggles in Carolina

    Rotowire
    Scott recorded 30 total tackles and two passes defended across 10 games in 2024. Scott inked a one-year, $1.3 million deal with the Panthers this past offseason after posting 57 total tackles in 17 games with the Bengals in 2023. The 29-year-old endured a tough season in Carolina, dealing with hamstring, quadriceps and shoulder injuries that limited him to 10 appearances. Primarily serving as one of the Panthers' top reserve safeties, he started just four games in place of the injured Jordan Fuller. Scott tallied 22 total tackles and one pass defended during those four starts, while contributing almost exclusively on special teams in his other appearances. The Penn State product is now set to hit unrestricted free agency and will likely be forced to sign another one-year prove-it deal after an underwhelming 2024 campaign.

  • Panthers' Chandler Wooten: Plays just five games in 2024

    Rotowire
    Wooten tallied 30 total tackles over five games in 2024. The third-year linebacker appeared in just five games this season but played 202 defensive snaps, 150 more than his previous career high. Wooten began the season on Carolina's practice squad but was elevated due to a slew of injuries to the team's linebacker corps. He played 70 percent of the Panthers' defensive snaps in three of his five appearances in 2024, recording 29 total stops during those outings. Wooten enters the offseason as a restricted free agent, giving the Panthers an opportunity to match any offer from another team. If the Auburn product remains in Carolina for 2025, he's likely to revert to a reserve role, playing behind Shaq Thompson (Achilles), Josey Jewell (concussion), Trevin Wallace (shoulder) and Claudin Cherelus (toe).

  • Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Promising 2024 campaign

    Rotowire
    Wonnum recorded 37 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, defended one pass and forced one fumble across eight games in 2024. Wonnum signed a two-year, $12.5 million deal with the Panthers last offseason after tying his career-best sack total (8.0) with the Vikings in 2023. However, the 27-year-old missed Carolina's first nine games this season due to a lingering quadriceps injury sustained during his last season in Minnesota. Despite the limited playing time, Wonnum finished third on the Panthers' defense in sacks, tallying 26 pressures in just eight games. The South Carolina product showed flashes of brilliance throughout his appearances and is expected to serve as Carolina's top edge rusher in 2025, looking to help bolster a defense that tied for the second-fewest sacks (32.0) in the NFL this season.

  • Panthers' Jadeveon Clowney: Disappoints in Carolina

    Rotowire
    Clowney recorded 46 total tackles, including 5.5 sacks, and four passes defended over 14 games in 2024. The 2014 first-round pick from South Carolina signed a two-year, $20 million deal with the Panthers this past offseason after tying his career high in sacks (9.5) in 2023 with the Ravens. Clowney was brought in to help bolster a struggling Panthers pass rush that ranked dead last in the NFL in sacks (27.0) in 2023, but his first season in Carolina did not go as planned. The 31-year-old posted his lowest sack total of any season in which he appeared in 14 or more games, while the Panthers' defense once again ranked among the NFL's bottom-four teams in sacks (32.0). Clowney is expected to benefit from the return of fellow edge rusher D.J. Wonnum, who missed nine games in 2024, potentially making his job a bit easier heading into the 2025 season.

  • Panthers' Shy Tuttle: Plays increased role in 2024

    Rotowire
    Tuttle recorded 46 total tackles, three passes defended and one forced fumble across 15 games in 2024. With Derrick Brown (knee) sustaining a season-ending injury in the Week 1 loss to the Saints, Tuttle took on an increased role on the Panthers' defense in 2024. Despite missing two games this season, the 29-year-old interior defensive lineman played 51 more defensive snaps than he did in 2023. Tuttle's role will likely be reduced once Brown returns from injury in 2025; however, the Tennessee product is expected to remain a starter on the Panthers' defense following a relatively productive 2024 campaign.
