Say adios to the Three Amigos.
That was the name for the three rookie cornerbacks drafted by the Panthers this past spring, which became two rookie cornerbacks after fifth-rounder Zack Sanchez was waived Saturday as NFL teams pared their rosters to 53 players.
Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman had never cut any of his healthy draft picks. But he parted with two of his five selections this year -- seventh-round tight end Beau Sandland also was waived -- when pre-draft evaluations were condensed due to the team’s extended postseason run.
The 53-man roster includes 40 players from the Super Bowl roster.
