The Carolina Panthers will play next season without Isaiah Simmons after the club elected to cut him from the 53-man roster.
It’s been a roller coaster of a career for Isaiah Simmons, as the linebacker-safety hybrid just hasn’t quite found a home in the NFL. After playing five games for the Carolina Panthers last season and fighting for a spot on the roster this year, his time with the club came to an end on Sunday.
Reports indicate that the 28-year-old defender was released by Carolina, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Simmons is currently entering the 2026-27 campaign as a free agent unless another team ends up signing him before the start of the season.
“The Panthers are releasing LB/S Isaiah Simmons,” Meirov reported. “The former No. 8 overall pick, known for his versatility, appeared in 5 games for Carolina last season and re-signed on a 1-year deal this offseason.”
This story is currently developing, and more information will be available soon.
