The Carolina Panthers make several moves to improve the depth of the roster.
general manager Dan Morgan has been eager to strengthen the back end of his roster and has always viewed the waiver wire as a prime route to do so, thanks to having top priority.- Shemar Bartholomew , CB Keenan Isaac , CB Tariq Castro-Fields , LB Jamie Sheriff , and LB Jon Rhattigan .
Isaac signed with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent last year, so he has some history with Dave Canales despite being on the other side of the ball. Jon Rhattigan spent the first two years of his NFL career in the same building as Canales out in Seattle. Bartholomew and Sheriff are undrafted rookies while Castro-Fields is the most experienced of the new corners having played in ten career games.
Projected starting corner Dane Jackson is currently dealing with a "significant" hamstring injury that will keep him sidelined for roughly another four weeks. Last week, the Panthers traded seventh round linebacker Michael Barrett to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for veteran Michael Jackson, who will be penciled in as the starter opposite of Jaycee Horn.
It's clear that Morgan wants to infuse competition in the cornerback room while also adding more depth on the outside. Prior to today's moves the Panthers only had three corners on the roster who will primarily lineup outside - Horn, Michael Jackson, and D'Shawn Jamison.
