Panthers claim Brad Kaaya and Demetrious Cox
CHARLOTTE – After parting ways with Joe Webb, it didn’t take long for the Panthers to add a young third quarterback to the mix. Carolina claimed rookie quarterback Brad Kaaya, who was waived by the Lions in the final cutdown.
The Panthers also claimed rookie safety Demtrious Cox, who was waived by the Bengals in their final roster cutdown. Carolina kept just three safeties on its initial 53-man roster. The team will soon announce the two corresponding moves to get the roster back down to 53 players.
The addition of Kaaya gives the Panthers a young, developmental talent that can be groomed behind Cam Newton and Derek Anderson.
