Panthers release DT Edwards

Published January 13, 2015

The Carolina Panthers released defensive tackle Ron Edwards on Friday.

Edwards signed with the Panthers as an unrestricted free agent in 2011. He suffered a torn right triceps at training camp that year and missed the entire season.

The Texas A&M product started the first 11 games of the 2012 season and recorded 14 tackles and one sack before a dislocated left elbow landed him on injured reserve.

"We appreciate the contributions that Ron has made to the Panthers the past two seasons," head coach Ron Rivera said. "He set a great example on and off the field for our young players, and we wish him well moving forward."

In 139 career games with the Bills (2001-2005), Chiefs (2006-2010) and Panthers, Edwards has 206 tackles and 16 1/2 sacks.
