The Carolina Panthers added some depth on Monday by signing free agent defensive tackle Darwin Walker, according to the Associated Press.

Defensive end Mike Rucker, the second-leading tackler in Panthers' history and one of the team's most recognizable players, is retiring after nine NFL seasons, as reported by the Associated Press.

Veteran Panthers' wide receiver Steve Smith wants Dwyane Jarrett to produce this coming season, according to the Associated Press.

The Panthers will likely look at an offensive tackle with their first pick, but they may consider a power running back to pair with DeAngelo Williams.

Panthers' receiver Dwayne Jarrett has pleaded not guilty to driving while impaired, according to an Associated Press report.

The Panthers have signed safety Terrence Holt to a one-year contract, according to the Detroit Free Press.
