Panthers Set 53-Man Roster
The Panthers have officially set their 53-man roster, and there are few major surprises on the list. One of the most notable names is running back Cameron Artis-Payne, who spent the past four years in Carolina. The team also moved on from fellow offensive veteran Aldrick Robinson, who finished last season with five touchdown receptions for the Vikings.
Otherwise, the other notable names include recent draft picks, like 2018 seventh-round wideout Terry Godwin and 2017 fifth-round cornerback Corn Elder.

Ravens Reveal Final Cuts
Two prominent 2015 Ravens draft picks were informed they won’t be on this season’s initial 53-man roster. Breshad Perriman and defensive lineman Carl Davis, a third-round draft choice three years ago, did not make the cut.
Davis started nine games for Baltimore last season but has just 30 career tackles. He missed the entire 2016 season.
The Ravens will also cut guard Nico Siragusa, a 2017 fourth-rounder who saw an injury end his rookie season before it started. Recently coming off suspension, tight end Darren Waller also won’t be part of the Ravens’ season-opening roster.
Here is the full list of Baltimore’s cuts, the first group including the players who will head to the waiver wire:
- T Randin Crecelius
- NT Carl Davis
- RB Gus Edwards
- RB Christopher Ezeala
- DE Myles Humphrey
- DE Bronson Kaufusi
- G Cameron Lee
- WR Andre Levrone
- TE Vince Mayle
- WR Breshad Perriman
- G Maurquice Shakir
- G Nico Siragusa
- RB Mark Thompson
- RB De’Lance Turner
- TE Darren Waller
- WR Tim White
- QB Josh Woodrum

Ravens Sign 15 UDFAs
The Ravens have signed 15 undrafted free agents. Here’s the complete list:
- Jaelon Acklin, WR (Western Illinois)
- Randin Crecelius, OL (Portland State)
- Gus Edwards, RB (Rutgers
- Justin Evans, G (South Carolina State)
- Nick Keizer, TE (Grand Valley State)
- Andre Levrone, WR (Virginia)
- Mason McKendrick, LB (John Carroll)
- Christian LaCouture, DL (LSU)
- Alvin Jones, LB (UTEP)
- Trent Sieg, LS (Colorado State)
- Mark Thompson, RB (Florida)
- Alex Thompson, C (Monmouth)
- De’Lance Turner, RB (Alcorn State)
- Kaare Vedvik, P (Marshall)
- Darious Williams, DB (UAB)
Jones started 43 games at UTEP and tallied 40 tackles for a loss over the course of his NFL career. That’s a pretty solid showing for someone who played quarterback in high school and was initially recruited to UTEP as a safety.
Five Florida Gators were drafted last week, but Thompson did not hear his name called. The talented running back will now get his opportunity to go from the Ravens’ 90-man offseason roster to their 53-man roster in the fall. In a limited sample of work, he averaged 5.1 yards per carry as a senior, though ball security was an issue for him at UF. He’ll have to keep the fumbles to a minimum this offseason as the team already has four running backs on the roster in Alex Collins, Javorius Allen, John Crockett, and Kenneth Dixon plus two other UDFA RBs in Edwards and Turner.
