Panthers announce 3 roster moves ahead of training camp
The Carolina Panthers will begin training camp without a few key names.
As announced on Monday afternoon, the team has placed two players on the active/physically unable to perform list—including starting tight end Tommy Tremble. The 25-year-old, who is entering his fifth NFL campaign, underwent back surgery in May and is expected to start his rehabilitation work during camp.
Tremble returned to the Panthers on a two-year deal this offseason. He recorded career-highs in receptions (32), receiving yards (234), yards per reception (10.2) and first downs (12) in 2024.
Joining Tremble is wide receiver Dan Chisena, whose injury was not disclosed in the team's announcement. Chisena appeared in six games for the Panthers this past season, with the majority of his snaps coming on special teams.
Carolina also placed punter Sam Martin on the active/non-football injury list. According to Joe Person of The Athletic, Martin is dealing with a hamstring injury and is not expected to be sidelined for long.
Tremble, Chisena and Martin can be activated at any time during camp.
Update (4:45 p.m. ET): Per Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer, Chisena has a calf injury and is not expected to miss much time.

Chargers reportedly signing LT Rashawn Slater to $114M contract, the richest for an offensive lineman in NFL history
The Los Angeles Chargers and left tackle Rashawn Slater have reportedly agreed to a four-year, $114 million contract extension, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. The contract includes $92 million in guaranteed money and makes Slater the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history, per the report. The Chargers selected Slater with the No. 13 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. He's approaching the final year of his five-year rookie contract that's due to pay him $19 million in 2025 per a fifth-year team option. The Chargers drafted Slater a year after selecting quarterback Justin Herbert in the draft. He's emerged as a strong blindside protector for Herbert and one of the better offensive linemen in the NFL. Slater was named second-team All-Pro and to the Pro Bowl during his rookie season. A biceps injury limited him to three games in his second season, but he returned to play 17 games in 2023 and 15 in 2024. He was named to the Pro Bowl for the second time last season. This story will be updated.

Chargers make Rashawn Slater the highest-paid OL in NFL history with four-year extension
The Chargers have locked in one of their key pieces for the long term. The team has reached an agreement with offensive tackle Rashawn Slater on a four-year, $114 million contract extension. This deal includes $92 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history. Slater was entering the final year of his contract and was set to make $19.04 million in 2025 after having his fifth-year option picked up. Now, he is contractually tied to the organization through the 2029 campaign. Selected in the first round (No. 13 overall) of the 2021 NFL draft, Slater has warranted that type of contract with his play on the field. A prolific pass protector and a road-grader in the run game, he has earned second-team All-Pro honors (2021) and two trips to the Pro Bowl (2021, 2024). At only 26 years old, Slater's best playing days are only ahead of him, as he continues to protect Justin Herbert's blindside and pave the way for Omarion Hampton and the rest of the members of the backfield.

Ravens added WR DeAndre Hopkins as an accessory, not a necessity
Baltimore WR DeAndre Hopkins has an undeniable acclaim as a star pass catcher in the NFL. Still, the Ravens were already thriving before he arrived. Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has an undeniable reputation as a veteran in the NFL. Still, the Ravens had already reached climactic status on the offensive side of the ball in 2024. Given this, offensive coordinator Todd Monken shouldn't get too distracted by a desire to force-feed Hopkins the ball when other options have shown themselves to be adequate in an already stable offensive attack. Furthermore, recent game logs suggest that Hopkins may play best as a third or fourth option (considering Ravens tight ends Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews) in the passing game. Hopkins was targeted five times in Super Bowl LIV, making only two catches in the biggest game of his career. Surely, Hopkins creates a red-zone advantage against smaller slot defenders, but seeing that the Ravens led the NFL in rushing yards and finished No. 7 in total passing yards in 2024, a change to the offensive structure isn't merited. Hopkins isn't in the prime of his career anymore, and Monken should be focused on the star players on the Ravens offense who actually are.
