US EditionPanthers release veteran Jadeveon Clowney after selecting two edge rushers in the NFL draft
- As part of their 2025 offseason roster adjustments, the Carolina Panthers decided to release veteran edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney.
- The team pursued this move after signing free agent Patrick Jones II and drafting two young edge rushers, Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen, to refresh the position.
- Clowney, who signed a two-year, $20 million contract last March and recorded 5.5 sacks last season, has been part of six different NFL teams and led the Panthers in tackles for loss during the 2024 season.
- According to ESPN's David Newton, Clowney was set to have a $13.775 million cap hit for the 2025 season, and by releasing him, the Carolina Panthers will reduce their salary cap burden by around $7.7 million, though they will incur nearly $6 million in dead cap charges.
- This roster decision signals the Panthers' shift toward youth and salary cap flexibility, while Clowney is expected to look for a seventh NFL team amid interest from the Ravens, Seahawks, and Lions.
