Goodbye to Barno

The team signed undrafted rookie JJ Weaver from Kentucky.

The 25-year-old Weaver played six seasons in college (with injury waivers), and had 21.5 sacks. He was a three-time team captain for the Wildcats.

To make room for him on the roster, the Panthers released outside linebacker Amare Barno.

Barno, a sixth-round pick in 2022, tore his ACL late in the 2023 season and began last year on the physically unable to perform list. He had 3.0 sacks in three seasons, appearing in 29 games.

Sad to see. He seemed to have a lot of potential when he was drafted. Injuries really derailed him though.

Well, might as well keep throwing 💩 against the wall to see if it sticks. I love bottom of the roster churn. Barno had a couple of years to distinguish himself, and unfortunately he didn't really do it. He'll probably stick on somewhere though, maybe, but gotta respect Dan for keeping it moving.

Any shot he had was ended when he tore his ACL.

would not be surprised if Barno's back at the roster at some point

Dan churns the bottom of the roster a lot throughout the season

IDK. If he was a PS candidate, seems like he would have made it further into the TC/preseason. 

I think it's more likely that he just didn't factor in after all the pass rush additions.

jalen coker and demani richardson were both at one point cut from the roster and brought back and now are contributors 

my guess is that Barno isn't healthy enough at the moment after knee clean up procedure and they needed the roster spot for training camp

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
