The Carolina Panthers have moved on from one of many Seattle Seahawks’ high preseason performers.
Undrafted rookie exterior linebacker Jamie Sheriff was waived by the Panthers on Tuesday. Carolina has done some roster reshuffling after putting star defensive lineman Derrick Brown on injured reserve, and with the approaching addition of Charles Harris it appears as if that impacted Sheriff’s roster spot.
If there was a controversial or closely debated Seahawks roster minimize this 12 months, it was Sheriff. He recorded three sacks and 5 quarterback hits and was the crew’s most efficient go rusher in preseason. When Darrell Taylor was traded to the Chicago Bears and Uchenna Nwosu suffered a knee harm towards the Cleveland Browns, it appeared like there was an opportunity for Sheriff to make the lively roster. Even after he was waived, there was hope he would clear waivers so he might land on the apply squad, however the Panthers claimed him.
Sheriff performed 17 snaps in his NFL debut, primarily with the sport approach out of hand towards the New Orleans Saints, and didn’t report any stats.
As soon as once more, Sheriff might want to clear waivers with a view to turn out to be a free agent. If he’s claimed, he’ll must land on an lively roster. If he isn’t claimed, then he might signal to an lively roster or a apply squad, wherein case… carry Jamie again, John Schneider?
