CHARLOTTE — The Panthers have added a veteran linebacker, signing Julian Stanford on Saturday.

Stanford, who's entering his ninth pro season, spent the last two years with the Bills, mainly contributing on special teams. He did start one game for Buffalo in 2018. That year he recorded his first career sack, forced fumble, and pass defensed.

Overall, Stanford has appeared in 88 games since 2012 with 11 starts. He entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Jaguars and has since spent time with the Lions, Buccaneers, Jets, and Bills.

Stanford had a tryout with the Panthers earlier this week, and passed COVID-19 testing protocols. As a corresponding roster move, the Panthers have waived linebacker David Reese.

And let one go.

We had 2 linebackers opt out. Looks like we've given a few guys a look since then to fill the gaps.

All these LB signings makes me think they are trying to get players for special teams.  Sounds like he will be a good fit there

We need help big time at LB

I dont see that, IF the panthers use Chinn as a hybrid LB.

I like the kid as well, but he’s a rookie

Yea, panthers feel just like you too. Guess I just have bigger exceptions for the current LBs(Carter and Smith mainly)&Chinn. My main concern with Chinn is him remaining healthy. I feel hes going to be his own worst enemy.

Hopefully Luke can coach then up...
