Panthers released RB DeAngelo Williams.
He's likely to be designated a post-June 1 cut, saving the Panthers $2 million in cap space. Williams hasn't rushed for 1,000 yards in a season since 2009, and his efficiency has dipped steadily with age. If there was ever any debate over who would lead the Panthers' backfield going forward, Jonathan Stewart ended that with an emphatic finish to the 2014 season (679 rushing yards over his last seven games). Williams may resurface as a backup, but the soon-to-be 32-year-old doesn't have much time left in his career.
