The Carolina Panthers have done quite a bit of (collaborative) work on their roster this offseason. Nonetheless, there still are a few spots that are available to be filled.

On Saturday, following the team’s second installment of rookie minicamp, head coach Frank Reich told reporters they may fill those spots with some of this weekend’s tryout players.

The Panthers currently have 84 players under contract, with 2023 draft picks Bryce Young and Jonathan Mingo yet to ink their names on the dotted lines. So, as the offseason roster limit sits at 90, Reich and general manager Scott Fitterer have four spots to play with.

And if they so choose to pluck talent off the practice field, here’s the pool of 17 players they can take from:

No. Player College
5 QB Taylor Powell Eastern Michigan
16 WR Austin Proehl North Carolina
18 WR Gary Jennings West Virginia
19 WR Emeka Emezie North Carolina State
20 DB Montrae Braswell Missouri State
24 DB J.R. Reed Georgia
43 LB Marquise Blount The Citadel
48 LB Travez Moore Arizona State
54 LB Gavin Greene Mississippi College
55 LB Ace Eley Georgia Tech
56 LB Jordan Williams Baylor
60 OL Derrick Kelly Florida State
64 OL Dohnovan West Arizona State
84 TE Nakia Griffen-Stewart Pittsburgh
93 DL Zi’Yon Hill-Green Louisiana
98 DL Antwuan Jackson Ohio State
99 LB Jordan Thomas Mississippi State

Deals could begin to unfold soon, as the Panthers have wrapped up their rookie minicamp outings for the weekend.
