Panthers cut Colin Cole; Snag small school pass rusher Ryan Delaire off Redskins PS
Today the Carolina Panthers made a very interesting decision. They released defensive tackle Colin Cole. In a corresponding move the team signed defensive end Ryan Delaire off the Redskins practice squad.
Delaire is a small school pass rusher from Towson University that originally signed to the Buccaneers out of college as an undrafted free agent. He then was claimed by the Redskins. Delaire was a premier pass rusher at the college level.
Cole on the other hand was released. He was signed by the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent in 2003. He played college football at Iowa. Cole has also played for the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers.
