K'Lavon Chaisson Released by Panthers for Upcoming Season
K'Lavon Chaisson Released: A Shocking Decision
CHARLOTTE — The Panthers made a surprising announcement on Tuesday, releasing veteran pass rusher K'Lavon Chaisson. After joining the team as a free agent in the spring, expectations were high for the former first-round draft pick.
Chaisson's Struggles in Jacksonville
Chaisson, originally selected by the Jaguars in 2020, faced challenges throughout his four-year tenure in Jacksonville. He concluded his time there with a total of 73 tackles, five sacks, and two passes defended.
The Panthers' Defensive Strategy
- K'Lavon Chaisson was expected to join Jadeveon Clowney in the pass rush.
- He started two preseason games, totaling 29 snaps and only one tackle for a loss.
- Chaisson did not participate in the second preseason match against the Jets.
His sudden release raises questions about the Panthers' linebacker lineup, now led by Clowney, DJ Johnson, Eku Leota, and newly acquired Jamie Sheriff.
