Royce Freeman could offer the Carolina Panthers something different at running back after he was claimed by the team off waivers this week.

The Carolina Panthers picked up another eye-catching veteran off the waiver wire on Thursday in the form of Royce Freeman, who was cut by the Denver Broncos after making their initial 53-man roster.

This was an area that needed quality reinforcement after those in power decided to go with Chuba Hubbard and Trenton Cannon behind Christian McCaffrey, with Spencer Brown and Rodney Smith both making it onto the practice squad after flashing during the preseason.
