The Carolina Panthers announced on Mar. 10 the release of veteran defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson, a move aimed at getting younger on the defensive line and creating salary cap space.
Robinson, who is 30 years old, played for the Panthers over the last two seasons, starting in 32 games and recording 145 tackles and eight sacks. He previously played for the Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Rams, and New York Giants during his ten-year career in the National Football League.
In 2024, Robinson took on a significant role when Derrick Brown was sidelined for most of the season due to injury. During that period, Robinson achieved a career-high with 80 tackles and five-and-a-half sacks. With Brown’s return to health and recent additions to the roster—including free agent signings Tershawn Wharton and Bobby Brown III as well as fifth-round rookie Cam Jackson—the team now has increased depth along its defensive front.
The Panthers have secured multiple division titles and playoff appearances according to the official website. The organization also supports community outreach and philanthropy across North and South Carolina according to the official website.
Home games are played in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina according to the official website, where fans can purchase season tickets, single-game tickets, premium seating options, and other experiences according to the official website. The Panthers emphasize building a championship culture while engaging with their community through various initiatives according to the official website.
