The Carolina Panthers announced Friday that they’veย tendered four exclusive rights free agents for the 2018 season including P Michael Palardy, WR Damiere Byrd, OL Tyler Larsen and TE Chris Manhertz.
- The Panthers also re-signed DL Drew Iddings to a new one-year contract.
Byrd, 25, wound up signing on with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina back in 2015. Since then, Byrd has been on and off of the Panthers’ active roster.
The Panthers placed him on injured reserve with a fractured forearm last year before officially activating him in December. However, Byrd returned to the injured reserve list a few weeks later.
In 2017, Byrd appeared in eight games for the Panthers and caught 10 passes forย 105 yards receiving and two touchdowns.
