Panthers reportedly showing interest in TJ Ward

Panthers need a safety and Denver's T.J. Ward is among those available. Can confirm the team has made contact with him.

Per Steve Reed, the Panthers have reached out to former Broncos safety TJ Ward. This comes during a hectic (and essentially second) free agent period. The Panthers ended up letting go of all of their safety depth short of Colin Jones, and currently have just three safeties on the roster.

The team has some roster flexibility for this, such as one of their two kickers who they are currently shopping for trade partners.
