It didn’t take long for former Washington defensive tackle Matt Ioannidis to find a new home. Ioannidis agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Carolina Panthers Friday, reuniting him with his former college coach at Temple, Matt Rhule.
Ioannidis, released Wednesday just before the new NFL league began, spent six seasons with the Washington Commanders after being a fifth-round pick in the 2016 NFL draft.
After his release, Ioannidis’ agent sounded off, saying he directly asked Washington’s representatives at the NFC combine if Ioannidis was in the team’s plans, and Washington’s top salary-cap guy, Rob Rogers, told the agent he had nothing to worry about.
