The #Panthers are trading for #Chargers DT TeRah Edwards, sources say. One last one before the buzzer. https://t.co/3Jnv Via @RapSheet on X

What happened: Sources said the deal came together shortly before Sunday’s 6 p.m. roster deadline. Carolina had released seven players Saturday and still faced 31 moves at that point.

Why it matters: Edwards adds interior defensive-line depth as Carolina finalizes its roster for the 2026 season. Los Angeles converts a 2025 undrafted signing into future draft capital.

By the numbers: Edwards’ 2026 contract carries an $885,000 salary and cap charge.

What to watch: Watch for both clubs to process the trade and complete their 53-man rosters.
