Bozeman spent two years with Carolina, playing in all 17 games in both seasons. His first season in black & blue was good and that earned him a new contract, however, his second year was a different story.
The 29-year-old allowed eight sacks as he struggled under Carolina’s new blocking scheme. According to Pro Football Focus, that’s the most sacks allowed by a center in 2023.
A separate report from ESPN says the decision to cut Bozeman was performance-based and not due to his $1.5 million deal. The move will reportedly save the Panthers $360,000.

Bozeman was the team’s nominee for the 2023 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award. This is the league’s most prestigious honor and acknowledges NFL players who demonstrate a passion for creating a positive impact in their communities.
Bozeman’s foundation is centered around anti-bullying programs. During a 2020 road trip across the Carolinas, the Bozeman’s visited schools to build awareness and spread anti-bullying messages.
