The Carolina Panthers have added a handful of notable players to their roster during the legal tampering period. But they’ve also lost some veteran contributors to the open market, as well.

So, while fans are excited about the arrivals of Diontae Johnson, Josey Jewell, A’Shawn Robinson, Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis, the Panthers will also need to make up for the losses of Frankie Luvu, Jeremy Chinn and Yetur Gross-Matos in free agency. The teams also lost Brian Burns and Donte Jackson, a pair of longtime veteran contributors, to trades.

Carolina also still has more than a dozen unrestricted to free agents as the new league year begins at 4 p.m. on Wednesday.

Here’s an updated look at the moving and shaking on the Panthers’ roster through the legal tampering period:
