The Panthers have released defensive back Rashaan Gaulden after an awful game against the Saints, the team announced Monday.
Gaulden ran into D.J. Moore on a punt return, which led to a fumble and a recovery by New Orleans. That mistake helped put Carolina in a 14-0 hole. Later, Gaulden committed a boneheaded penalty on special teams by shoving a Saints player long after the whistle had blown.
Mental errors are hard enough for any NFL player to overcome. In the end, Gaulden’s lack of athleticism and discipline made it impossible.
No corresponding roster move has been announced as of yet.
