Panthers add Willie Snead to the practice squad

The veteran linebacker adds some depth on special teams, after impressing in that area in a half-season here last year.

The veteran pass-rusher adds to a young group, and gives the Panthers a proven commodity at a position of need.

The veteran safety and special teams player is back, after leading the team in special teams tackles the last two seasons.

Another former Rams safety joins the team, as Jordan Fuller's old teammate adds depth to the secondary.

He was here during the 2021 offseason, but has plenty of experience with head coach Dave Canales in both Seattle and Tampa Bay, where he showed he still has deep speed.

The former Packers tackle gives them an experienced option outside, after the early emphasis on adding guards in free agency.

The team adds another pass-rush option to the mix during a busy first week of the free agent period.

The former Rams defensive back (who played for Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero) brings experience to the secondary.

The Vikings outside linebacker was in the building Thursday and will be staying, adding some needed pass-rush help.

With the start of the league year, the team's deal for wideout Diontae Johnson became official, as did the trade that sent Brian Burns to New York for draft picks.

The team parted ways with center Bradley Bozeman, safety Vonn Bell, and tight end Hayden Hurst on Wednesday afternoon.

The team has entered into agreement with five new players; two on offense and three on defense as the league year opens.
