TRANSITION PLAYER: None

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS:

--LB Donte Curry is a moderate special teams player who can be had on the cheap.

--LS Jason Kyle is an extremely reliable long snapper who the team would like to have back. But he might test the market.

--DT Darwin Walker was inactive for the team's playoff game against Arizona despite having more playoff experience than any player on the roster, so that should tell you all you need to know about his chances of returning to Carolina.

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS (not tendered)

--DT Gary Gibson (not tendered as RFA) was a backup tackle last year and went on IR late in the season with a hand injury.

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS
