The Carolina Panthers have acquired linebackers Jamie Sheriff and Jon Rhattigan from the Seattle Seahawks, who waived them after the preseason. Both players performed impressively but were released due to roster constraints.
Rhattigan, a seasoned player, faced a high cap hit which contributed to his release. Sheriff, a standout undrafted rookie, impressed with his stats during the preseason.
The Panthers have a strong waiver priority, allowing them to pick up these players. This move coincides with the recent trade of cornerback Mike Jackson from Seattle to Carolina, facilitated by the GMs' prior connection.
