"Saahdiq Charles wasn't brought back in 2024 free agency. The offensive lineman got countless opportunities to shine in a starting role under Rivera, but injuries and inconsistencies became his undoing. It was no surprise to see him go. Even so, it was a bombshell to see him retire just a few short months after signing for the Tennessee Titans. Charles spent a year away from the game before joining the Dallas Cowboys."
"Things looked bleak when he left the Commanders' bitter rival parted ways for good in October, but there was one more team willing to give him a shot. The Carolina Panthers became the latest to see something in Charles. He played two games and recorded 10 special teams snaps. The LSU product was probably gearing up for another uncertain offseason. As it turned out, he impressed those in power enough to get a reserve/futures contract."
Adam Peters executed a drastic roster overhaul that removed most players drafted under Ron Rivera, believing few were worth retaining long-term. The reset produced immediate improvements and left many former draftees fighting for roster spots elsewhere. Saahdiq Charles did not return in 2024 free agency, suffered from injuries and inconsistencies, briefly retired after signing with the Tennessee Titans, and spent a year away from the game. He joined the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad but later departed. The Carolina Panthers signed him, gave him snaps on special teams across two games, and rewarded him with a reserve/futures contract, signaling renewed confidence.
