Panthers release S LaDarius Wiley

The Panthers parted ways with S LaDarius Wiley, making him their sixth cut of the past 24 hours.

Even after sizing down the roster to Tuesday’s 80-man limit, the Carolina Panthers weren’t done chopping it up.

Per his agency, safety LaDarius Wiley has been released by the team. Wiley signed with the Panthers on Aug. 8 alongside defensive end Kendall Donnerson, who was also cut earlier today.

The undrafted free agent out of Vanderbilt University broke into the NFL on a deal with the Tennessee Titans back in 2019. After not seeing any regular season action over his two years there, the 6-foot-1, 210-pound defensive back joined the Seattle Seahawks for a brief stay this offseason before being released in June.

Wiley and Donnerson account for two of the six players Carolina has now departed with over the past day. They’ve also moved out wide receiver Krishawn Hogan, guard Marquel Harrell and defensive tackles Walter Palmore and Caraun Reid.

Panthers cut pair of DLs to get to 80-man roster limit

The Panthers cut ties with DLs Kendall Donnerson and Caraun Reid on Tuesday morning, bringing them to the 80-man roster limit.

Despite having quite a bit of time left ahead of Tuesday’s roster cutdown deadline, the Carolina Panthers wasted almost none of it.

The team officially announced the departures of two more players this morning, defensive linemen Kendall Donnerson and Caraun Reid. As the Panthers prepare for their preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers this Friday, they are now in the clear with the league-mandated 80-man roster limit.

Donnerson was initially signed back on Aug. 8. The 6-foot-3, 249-pound end was a seventh-round pick of the Green Bay Packers in 2018.

Reid, an eighth-year veteran, had come over to Carolina following stints with the Detroit Lions, the then-San Diego Chargers, the Dallas Cowboys, Arizona Cardinals and Jacksonville Jaguars.

The duo joins three other casualties from yesterday—wide receiver Krishawn Hogan, guard Marquel Harrell and defensive tackle Walter Palmore.

Panthers waive three players ahead of Tuesday’s 80-man limit

On Monday evening, the Carolina Panthers officially waived three players ahead of Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline.

On Monday evening, the Carolina Panthers officially waived three players ahead of Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline in getting to the league-mandated 80-man roster.

One of those early casualties was wideout Krishawn Hogan. The 6-foot-3, 217-pound receiver was signed after a tryout back in late July. He last played in an official game two seasons ago with the New Orleans Saints.

The recently-signed pair of linemen, guard Marquel Harrell and defensive tackle Walter Palmore, account for the other two cuts. Harrell was signed this past Thursday as the team was sifting through the open market for much needed offensive line depth. Palmore was added the day earlier, filling the 85th spot on the team after they made six moves to get down to 84 players prior to last week’s roster deadline.

Carolina’s roster now currently sits at a total of 82 men. They must depart with at least two more players by tomorrow.

Panthers sign OL Marquel Harrell, release WR Micah Simon

The Panthers keep testing the market for that offensive line depth they’ve desperately needed.

Carolina Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer, so far, says what he means and means what he says.

Yesterday, he said the team was monitoring the open market for offensive line depth. And today, he meant it.

On Thursday morning, the Panthers announced the signing of offensive lineman Marquel Harrell. Harrell, 6-foot-3 and 309 pounds, most recently suited up with the Las Vegas Raiders for minicamp and OTAs this summer.

The Auburn University product broke into the league as an undrafted free agent a year ago, having signed on with the Buffalo Bills following five seasons as a Tiger. He was released by Buffalo earlier this year after spending the final five games of the season on the team’s practice squad.

To maneuver back to the 85-man roster limit in making room for Harrell, the Panthers released wide receiver Micah Simon. The speedy wideout out of Brigham Young University first inked himself into Carolina back in March.
