Carolina Panthers reveal first look at initial 53-man roster for 2025 NFL season

The Carolina Panthers took their time to talk with all 37 of the players that they have waived or released over the last couple of days, and even then they've managed to finish their homework early. Coming in two hours ahead of the NFL's deadline for rosters to be trimmed from 90 players down to 53, the Panthers have revealed their initial roster for the 2025 season.

The only real surprise was late coming for the Panthers, who made veteran wide receiver and training camp standout Hunter Renfrow one of their cuts. Meanwhile, David Moore took the seventh receiver spot in his place. Here's the full 53 as it stands.
