Nick Scott

Panthers signed S Nick Scott, formerly of the Bengals.

Scott was released by the Bengals in a cap-saving move back in mid-March. The former seventh-round pick played in 17 games for the Bengals last season while making 10 starts. He totaled 57 tackles and one fumble recovery in those games and has started in 27 of the 81 games he’s appeared in for his career. Scott can step in to start when needed, but will likely serve as more of a depth signing for the Panthers.
