Panthers expect to sign former Dolphins safety Eric Rowe
The Panthers are not done with free agency yet.
On Thursday, Carolina announced it agreed to terms with former Dolphins safety Eric Rowe. The team is expected to sign the 30-year-old defensive back, paring him with newcomer Vonn Bell and veterans Xavier Woods and Jeremy Chinn.
Rowe, a 2015 second-round pick of the Eagles, spent the past four seasons in Miami as a safety and nickel defender. During those four seasons, he recorded 299 of his 381 career tackles, three interceptions, six forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and 25 pass deflections. Before Miami, Rowe won two Super Bowls with the Patriots.
Last season, Rowe played 60% of the Dolphins defensive snaps. With the Panthers, he’ll have an opportunity to contribute in sub-packages and on special teams.
Note: Thursday, Carolina announced the team is hosting a draft party at Bank of America Stadium. The gates open at 6:30 p.m. on April 27. The 2023 NFL Draft begins at 8 p.m. The Panthers have the No. 1 pick.
