Carolina Panthers free agency: Re-signings, arrivals, departures and still available

The Carolina Panthers have had plenty of turnover in the first offseason of the Dan Morgan-Dave Canales era. The formerly 2-15 squad has reworked its offense and defense while attempting to keep its special teams core intact.

Last week, Morgan was able to land former Pro Bowl pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney, a Rock Hill, S.C. native, on a two-year deal. The first-year general manager also brought back a pair of familiar faces, Sam Franklin and Tae Davis, to help keep some cohesion within the special teams unit.
