CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers have released veteran Jadeveon Clowney after selecting two edge rushers in the NFL draft.
Clowney, the No. 1 pick in the 2014 draft, had 5 1/2 sacks last season for the Panthers.
He had one year left on his contract.
The Panthers drafted Texas A&M’s Nic Scourton in the second round and Mississippi’s Princely Umanmielen in the third round in the NFL draft with an eye towards getting younger at the position.
