The Carolina Panthers’ website announced the release of Pro-Bowl veteran fullback Mike Tolbert on Tuesday afternoon.
The announcement came shortly after the agent of defensive tackle Paul Soliai tweeted that Soliai would be released just one year into his 2-year, $7 million deal signed last offseason.
Tolbert spent five seasons with the Panthers and was named to the Pro Bowl three times, including in 2017.
“I feel very fortunate to have coached Mike for nearly his entire career,” head coach Ron Rivera told the team website. “He was someone we targeted in 2012 because we felt he would be a good addition to our offense and he was very productive for us.
