The Panthers currently have 26 players slated for free agency in 2024.
Things have changed a bit since the last time we brought you this free agent list.
A few weeks back, the Carolina Panthers held on to a few of their own—re-signing tight end Stephen Sullivan and defensive linemen Nick Thurman LaBryan Ray to fresh deals.
So, let’s take an updated look at the team’s pending 2024 free agents.
Panthers OLB Yetur Gross-Matos turned in a productive outing to cap off a career year.

How did the New Year’s Eve looks pan out for the Carolina Panthers?
Here are our top takeaways from the snap counts in yesterday’s 26-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Panthers have officially signed G Gabe Jackson to their active roster.
The Carolina Panthers may be settling on a right guard to finish out their bumpy 2023 campaign.
As of Friday afternoon, Gabe Jackson has been officially added to the active roster. The 10th-year veteran, who signed to the practice squad back on Nov. 29, was elevated to the game-day roster for each of the past three weeks.
Jackson’s first bit of action came in the Week 15 win over the Atlanta Falcons, where relieved starting right guard J.D. DiRenzo to start the second half. The 32-year-old filled in admirably over his 33 snaps, earning a team-high 78.7 run-blocking grade and a 71.9 pass-blocking grade from Pro Football Focus.
Interim head coach Chris Tabor spoke about Jackson’s impressive debut the day after.
“He came in there, we ripped off a couple good runs there, right away when he came in,” Tabor told reporters on Dec. 18. “He’s a strong player, been around the block, has a lot of experience. And it was just something that we felt like we just needed to do at that time. Thought that he did some really nice things.”
Surprisingly, Jackson wouldn’t get the starting nod in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers. He would, however, come in even earlier for DiRenzo—recording 55 snaps in the 33-30 loss.

The Panthers may have themselves a new starting right guard and a pair of exciting weapons on offense to close out the 2023 season.
Sunday’s loss to the Green Bay Packers may have been a tough pill to swallow for the Carolina Panthers, but it resulted in a few positive steps forward.
Here are the top takeaways from the Week 16 snap counts:
For the second straight week, the Panthers have elevated Gabe Jackson and J.D. DiRenzo from the practice squad.
The Carolina Panthers are running it back this weekend with a pair of hog mollies.
As first reported by Darin Gantt of Panthers.com on Saturday afternoon, the team has elevated offensive linemen Gabe Jackson and J.D. DiRenzo for tomorrow’s matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Both players were brought up from the practice squad for last week’s eventual win over the Atlanta Falcons.
That victory saw Jackson take over duties at right guard from starter Nash Jensen. The 10th-year veteran impressed a number of folks over his 33 snaps, including interim head coach Chris Tabor.
“He came in there, we ripped off a couple good runs there, right away when he came in,” Tabor said on Monday. “He’s a strong player, been around the block, has a lot of experience. And it was just something that we felt like we just needed to do at that time. Thought that he did some really nice things.
“And as I always say, it’s any player, he’s gonna want some plays back. And we’ll work hard this week to get those things rectified and build off the things that he did well. But really pleased with his performance . . . for a guy that just got here.”
Jackson earned an overall mark of 72.2 from Pro Football Focus, the third-highest on the Carolina offense in Week 15. He also graded out at a team-best 78.7 in run blocking.
While Tabor has not specified who will be starting at right guard on Sunday, Jackson seems likely to get the nod.

Panthers interim HC Chris Tabor talked about why the team went to Gabe Jackson in the second half of Sunday’s win.
Another week, another impressive relief outing for a hog molly. And this time, it was newbie Gabe Jackson doing the work.
Sunday’s 9-7 victory over the Atlanta Falcons marked the Carolina Panthers debut of Gabe Jackson. And the 10th-year veteran, who came on for starting right guard Nash Jensen in the second half, impressed interim head coach Chris Tabor.
“He came in there, we ripped off a couple good runs there, right away when he came in,” Tabor said on Monday afternoon. “He’s a strong player, been around the block, has a lot of experience. And it was just something that we felt like we just needed to do at that time. Thought that he did some really nice things.
“And as I always say, it’s any player, he’s gonna want some plays back. And we’ll work hard this week to get those things rectified and build off the things that he did well. But really pleased with his performance . . . for a guy that just got here.”
Jackson was signed to the team’s practice squad back on Nov. 29. The 32-year-old called up for the second time in Week 15, and made the most out of his first opportunity on the field.
Pro Football Focus graded Jackson out at an overall mark of 72.2—the third-highest on the Carolina offense. He was also given a team-best 78.7 in run blocking, which helped contribute to a 129-yard output on the ground.
As of now, however, Tabor told reporters that it’s too early to decide on if Jackson will take the starting duties from Jensen moving forward.
