Panthers announce change at LB in roster move on Sunday
As announced on Sunday afternoon, the Panthers have signed veteran linebacker Krys Barnes.
A Bakersfield, Calif. native, Barnes attended UCLA from 2016 to 2019. There, he amassed 212 combined tackles (21 for a loss), 5.0 sacks and four interceptions over four years.
Barnes then cracked into the NFL as an undrafted free-agent signee of the Green Bay Packers. He'd go on to post 161 tackles between his first two pro campaigns, starting in 23 of his 29 games for Green Bay.
The 6-foot-2, 229-pounder has played his last two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. 304 of his 509 total snaps in 2024 came on special teams.
To make room for Barnes, the Panthers waived rookie linebacker Tuasivi Nomura. Nomura signed with Carolina as an undrafted free agent this past spring.This article originally appeared on Panthers Wire: Panthers sign LB Krys Barnes, release rookie on Sunday

Ederson moves closer to Galatasaray
Ederson moves closer to Galatasaray Ederson Moraes, the Brazilian goalkeeper from Manchester City, has already given the green light to Galatasaray. A three-year contract is on the table, along with a massive salary: eight million euros per season. In Istanbul, fans are already dreaming of seeing him don the yellow and red jersey. But there's still one obstacle. Manchester City won't let go of their starting keeper so easily. Galatasaray's €7 million offer has been rejected. The English side are asking for nearly double that amount—€13 million. Negotiations are ongoing. With just days to go before the league campaigns resume, everything could speed up. If Galatasaray matches the asking price, this transfer could become one of the summer's most talked-about moves.

Penrith smash six but Carlisle City come unstuck in Cumbrian derby
Penrith smashed SIX goals as they ended their wait for a first win of the season in style. Jim Nichols' side thrashed Thornaby 6-0 at Frenchfield Park in Tuesday's Northern League Division One game. Penrith, after three draws and a defeat in their initial league games, hit the goal trail in their fifth outing. Connor Shields led the way with a hat-trick in the space of 11 minutes either side of half-time, the forward scoring in the 38th minute, first-half added time and then the 49th minute. Luke Brown, Luke Hunter and Connor Hammell added further goals after the break with Penrith 6-0 up by the 63rd minute mark. The game, in front of 158 fans, saw Nichols chalk up his first win in his second spell in charge of the Bonny Blues. The victory saw Penrith move up to seventh in the fledgling table. Tuesday's Cumbrian derby, meanwhile, went the way of Kendal Town as they got the better of Carlisle City. A crowd of 255 at Gillford Park saw Kendal prevail 4-1 to end City's unbeaten start to the league season. Tom Kilifin and James Bailey scored to put Kendal in control before Callum Birdsall pulled one back for Dan Kirkup's hosts before the break. Kilifin, though, struck again after the break and after City's Tom Mahone was sent off, Josh Winder's injury-time strike completed Kendal's victory. The south Cumbrians are now second in the table with City moving down to fourth. The three Cumbrian clubs are back in league and cup action this weekend. In the league, Penrith go to Boro Rangers on Saturday and Carlisle City go to leaders Whitley Bay, while Kendal are in FA Cup action when they go to Northallerton Town in the Preliminary Round.
