Overview

  • Carolina released the two-year starter during final roster cuts, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
  • Tuttle intends to sign a one-year contract with Tennessee to bolster interior depth behind Jeffery Simmons and T'Vondre Sweat.
  • The Panthers added Tershawn Wharton and Bobby Brown after pursuing Milton Williams, with Derrick Brown returning from injury to lift competition at the position.
  • A spring pay cut reworked Tuttle’s deal to one year at $3 million with $450,000 guaranteed, creating void years and dead-money hits of about $3.33 million in 2025 and additional charges in 2026.
  • As a vested veteran with starting stints in New Orleans and Carolina, Tuttle was able to secure a new landing spot immediately.
