The Carolina Panthers have made yet another offseason move concerning the line of scrimmage. According to multiple sources, defensive tackle Vernon Butler will likely be playing in a different uniform next season.
The #Panthers won’t pick up DT Vernon Butler’s fifth-year potion today, source says. The 30th pick in 2016 will be a free agent next spring.
