CHARLOTTE – The Panthers have parted ways with another defensive lineman.
Dwan Edwards, a 12-year veteran who played a significant role in Carolina's defensive tackle rotation the past four seasons, has been released. The move comes on the same day the Panthers released nine-year defensive end Charles Johnson.
Edwards, a second-round draft choice of the Baltimore Ravens back in 2004, signed with Carolina prior to the 2012 season. He was a starter his first season and a key reserve and mentor for defensive tackles Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short the past three seasons.
