The Carolina Panthers own one of the league’s oldest rosters with two players announcing plans for retirement prior to the season. Although Thomas Davis has indicated having second thoughts following a suspension to start the year, it appears center Ryan Kalil will hang up his cleats.
There are others who also may not be back in 2019 for varying reasons. Some are dealing with injuries, a few may not have their contract renewed or they may elect to test the waters of free agency and decide if playing for another franchise better suits their future.
