Panthers' John Metchie: Reunites with Bryce Young
Metchie is signing a one-year deal with Carolina, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
A 2022 second-round pick, Metchie spent time with three different teams during the length of his rookie contract after missing the 2022 season to recover from cancer. He'll now reunite with college teammate Bryce Young, likely competing for a depth role at wide receiver behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker.

Panthers' James Mitchell: Re-signs with Panthers
Mitchell has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Carolina, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Mitchell will continue to provide depth in a tight end room that also houses Ja'Tavion Sanders (lower leg), Tommy Tremble and Mitchell Evans. Across five regular-season games in 2025, Mitchell secured all three of his targets for 28 yards.

Panthers' Stone Forsythe: Links with Panthers
Forsythe agreed to terms on a contract with the Panthers on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Forsythe has shown flexibility on the offensive line over his five-year career, playing multiple positions and holding his own. He started 13 of 17 games for the Raiders last season. The 28-year-old will need to battle for a full-time starting role in Carolina.

Panthers' Luke Fortner: Lands with Carolina
Fortner agreed to terms Tuesday on a one-year contract with the Panthers worth $4.75 million, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Fortner started 44 regular-season games over four years with the Jaguars, although he started just 10 games over the past two. The 2022 third-round pick should be favored to win the starting center job in Carolina.

Panthers' Popo Aumavae: Waived by Carolina
The Panthers waived Aumavae (Achilles) on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Aumavae spent the 2025 season on injured reserve with an Achilles tear and will now be waived after initially signing as an undrafted free agent in 2024. The defensive tackle has spent his NFL career thus far bouncing around the Panthers' reserve lists. Aumavae will become an unrestricted free agent if he clears waivers.

Panthers' David Moore: Re-signing with Carolina
Moore agreed to terms Tuesday on a contract to remain with the Panthers, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Moore caught just one pass across four regular-season appearances in 2025. The depth wide receiver will likely reprise his role as an emergency option in 2026. Moore's deal is likely another one-year deal around the league minimum, with additional money tied to incentives.

Panthers' Isaiah Simmons: Staying with Carolina
The Panthers signed Simmons to a contract Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Simmons signed a one-year deal with the Panthers in late December, and the team seems to want to keep the former Clemson linebacker around. It is likely another one-year deal for Simmons, who was primarily a special-teams player down the stretch of the 2025 regular season. The 27-year-old played just one defensive snap last season, something that may change with a full offseason to immerse himself in the Panthers' defensive scheme.

Panthers' A'Shawn Robinson: Released by Carolina
The Panthers released Robinson on Tuesday.
Robinson had one year remaining on his contract, but his diminished production in 2025 is likely the reason he will be released early. The 30-year-old defensive tackle will now be able to seek a new contract once free agency starts Wednesday. Robinson is a durable, time-tested veteran who could strengthen the depth of many teams' interior defensive units.

Panthers' LaBryan Ray: Inks new deal with Carolina
Ray re-signed with the Panthers on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
The 28-year-old from Alabama has operated in a depth role on the Panthers' defensive line over the last two seasons, tallying 54 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 29 regular-season appearances. He's expected to continue playing behind Derrick Brown, Tershawn Wharton (hamstring) and Bobby Brown during the 2026 season.

Panthers' Thomas Incoom: Returning to Carolina
Incoom re-signed with the Panthers on Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Although Incoom played just 25 defensive snaps across the Panthers' 17 regular-season games in 2025, he led the team with 16 total tackles on special teams. Following his new deal, the Central Michigan product is expected to remain one of Carolina's most impactful special-team assets during the 2026 season.

Panthers' Akayleb Evans: Staying in Carolina
Evans is set to sign a one-year deal with the Panthers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The 26-year-old corner appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Panthers last season, recording 12 total tackles while playing a key role on special teams (153 snaps). After re-signing with Carolina on Monday, Evans is expected to maintain a similar role ahead of the 2026 season.

Panthers' Devin Lloyd: Inks deal with Carolina
The Panthers agreed to terms with Lloyd on a three-year, $45 million contract Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
After being selected with the 27th overall pick in the 2022 Draft, Lloyd spent his first four seasons with the Jaguars. After posting 100-plus tackles in three straight seasons, Lloyd managed just 81 tackles (35 solo), including 1.5 sacks, across 15 regular-season starts during the 2025 campaign. However, Lloyd made an impact elsewhere in the box score, recording seven pass breakups, including a career-best five interceptions, and was named a second-team All-Pro. Lloyd should be an every-down linebacker in Carolina after playing just 73 percent of the defensive snaps for the Jaguars last season.

Panthers' Kenny Pickett: Moving on to Carolina
Pickett is slated to sign a one-year contract with the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Journeyman QB Andy Dalton remains under contract with the Panthers, but considering his guaranteed money ($2 million) is half that of Pickett's, the latter seems poised to be Bryce Young's backup in 2026 while Dalton could see himself cut for minimal cap savings. Since moving on from Pittsburgh after the 2023 season, Pickett has made 11 appearances (three starts) the last two campaigns between the Eagles and Raiders, completing 53 of 87 passes (60.9 percent) for 479 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions, rushing 14 times for 37 yards and one more score and fumbling twice (one lost).

Panthers' Robert Rochell: Re-ups with Panthers
Rochell re-signed with Carolina on a one-year contract Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Rochell hasn't totaled more than 10 tackles in a season since his rookie year with the Rams in 2021, but he's solidified himself as a solid contributor on special teams. He contributed in such a role across four regular-season appearances with Carolina in 2025, in addition to two games with the Cowboys.
