Breaking: Panthers Part Ways with Sam Franklin and Dan Chisena—One Lands Massive Deal with Chiefs
The Carolina Panthers have officially moved on from two of their top experienced players, parting ways with defensive back Sam Franklin and wide receiver Dan Chisena. The decision marks a significant shift for the team as they continue to reshape their roster.
While both players are now free agents, one of them has already secured a massive new contract. According to reports, one of these former Panthers is finalizing a five-year, $520 million maximum deal with the Kansas City Chiefs. This blockbuster contract would make them one of the highest-paid players in the league and a key addition to the reigning Super Bowl contenders.
Franklin, known for his versatility and impact on special teams, had been with the Panthers since 2020 and contributed as a depth safety. Chisena, a speedster on special teams, had previously spent time with the Minnesota Vikings before joining Carolina. Both players have been valuable in their respective roles, but their time with the Panthers has now come to an end.
The Chiefs, always looking to strengthen their roster, are making a major investment in one of these players. The details of the signing will likely be revealed soon, but the move signals Kansas City’s commitment to securing top talent as they aim to maintain their dominance in the NFL.
With free agency in full swing, Franklin and Chisena will now look for new opportunities, while Panthers fans will be watching to see how their former players fare in the next chapter of their careers.
