Panthers Lose Seward to Colts

Six-foot-two, 250-pound linebacker Adam Seward has officially become the fourth unrestricted free agent for the Panthers to leave Charlotte, exiting Carolina over the weekend to join the ranks of Jim Caldwell and the Indianapolis Colts for next season’s NFL play. 26-year-old Seward signed a one-year deal with the Colts that will help secure Indianapolis’ waning linebacker crew, as neither Freddy Keiaho nor Tyjuan Hagler (both free agents) have been re-signed with the team yet.

Seward, a four-year NFL veteran, was drafted out of UNLV by the Panthers in the fifth round of the 2005 NFL Draft and has appeared in 40 career games with Carolina, playing mostly on special teams but also making two starts as linebacker. Adam Seward joins offensive linemen Frank Omiyale (Chicago) and Geoff Hangartner (Buffalo) as well as returner Mark Jones (Tennessee) as the other unrestricted free agents to leave the Panthers during this offseason. Carolina’s only free agents left on the team include defensive tackle Darwin Walker, linebacker Donte Curry and long snapper Jason Kyle, and any or all of these players could be the next to go.
