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.
