With teams around the league cutting their rosters down to 53 players, a huge number of players hit the waiver wire. The Carolina Panthers hit that wire to try to shore up the bottom of the roster. They picked up three players:
- Claudin Cherelus, linebacker, previously on the New York Jets
- D’Shawn Jamison, defensive back, previously on the San Francisco 49ers
- Calvin Throckmorton, offensive lineman, previously on the New Orleans Saints
The most obvious thing about these pickups is that the Panthers clearly valued names.
