The Carolina Panthers have bolstered their linebacker corps by signing Krys Barnes, a veteran with notable experience in the NFL. Barnes, who played college football at UCLA, went undrafted before joining the Green Bay Packers, where he accumulated significant statistics over his first two seasons. He later spent time with the Arizona Cardinals, contributing mainly on special teams. To accommodate Barnes' addition, the team has waived rookie linebacker Tuasivi Nomura. This strategic roster move comes on the heels of the Panthers' Fan Fest, signaling their commitment to enhancing the defense ahead of the upcoming season.
