The Carolina Panthers released veteran fullback Mike Tolbert on Tuesday after five seasons with the franchise.
“I feel very fortunate to have coached Mike for nearly his entire career,” head coach Ron Rivera said in a statement. “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. He brought great energy and leadership to our locker room and I wish him the best.”
Tolbert, 31, rushed for 114 yards on 35 carries in 2016.
