Sources: Panthers show interest in TE Crumpler



4-time Pro Bowl tight end was released on Friday by Falcons

Charles Chandler / Charlotte Observer


The Carolina Panthers plan to explore the possibility of signing former Pro Bowl tight end Alge Crumpler once he officially appears on the NFL waiver list, according to sources.

Though the Falcons announced the release of Crumpler and other players on Friday, their names did not appear on the league's waiver list late in the afternoon.

A new list won't be released again until Monday afternoon.

Released players aren't officially available to other teams until they've cleared waivers, which so far has prevented the Panthers from beginning the process of recruiting and evaluating Crumpler. Full Story – Observer
