CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Former Washington defensive tackle Matt Ioannidis, a just over week after his agent ripped the Commanders for releasing him, on Friday found a new home with familiar faces.
Ioannidis, 28, agreed to a one-year deal to play for the Carolina Panthers and coach Matt Rhule, who coached the 6-foot-3, 310-pounder at Temple. He'll also be reunited with Phil Snow, his defensive coordinator with the Owls.
Alan Herman, Ioannidis' agent, told ESPN last week that Washington senior president of football administration Rob Rogers told him the team wasn't going to release him.
