The Carolina Panthers have officially released veteran pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney after just one year into his $20 million contract. This decision comes on the heels of the Panthers selecting two edge rushers in the recent NFL draft, signaling a shift towards a younger roster. Clowney, the former No. 1 overall pick, is now a free agent and has attracted attention from several teams, including the San Francisco 49ers, who are encouraged to bolster their pass rush. Discussions surrounding potential landing spots for Clowney have also emerged, with teams such as the Detroit Lions showing interest. This move reflects a cold-blooded approach to team rebuilding as the Panthers make significant roster adjustments.
