The Carolina Panthers 53-man roster is set – for now. A total of 20 players were waived or terminated ahead of today’s 2:00 PM EST roster cut deadline.
The Panthers have elected to keep six wide receivers, 10 offensive linemen and 10 defensive linemen. They also restructured linebacker Luke Kuechly‘s contract to make room for incoming offensive tackle Corey Robinson, who was traded over from the Lions in exchange for an undisclosed 2020 draft pick.
Every year around this time fans hope that their favorite underdog players make the final roster. Sometimes they are not prepared for the surprising cuts that very few people expected.
