The team signed 6 players to future contracts. Of the six, Jacob Bender, Tommie Duhart, Trent Guy, Josh Vaughan, and Sean Ware were previously on Carolina’s practice squad.

Louis Ellis, on the other hand, spent the 2009 season on the practice squad of the Miami Dolphins.

Bulking up the defensive line are Duhart and Ellis, and Ware will join the Panthers linebackers crew. Trent Guy, Josh Vaughan and Jacob Bender will join the offense at WR, RB, and T respectively.

These contracts are “future” because though they are signed, they are not officially on the roster until the beginning of the next league year.

The roster is comprised of running back Josh Vaughan, cornerback R.J. Stanford, wide receiver Trent Guy, fullback Rashawn Jackson, linebacker Sean Ware, and defensive tackle Corvey Irvin. The team’s newcomers are offensive guards Shawn Murphy and Dan Santucci.

Murphy was a fourth-round draft pick of the Miami Dolphins in 2008, while Santucci was a seventh-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in in 2009.
