On the first day of the legal tampering period, the Carolina Panthers placed a restricted free agent tender on safety and special teams standout Sam Franklin—keeping him around for the 2023 season. But they will not be doing the same with fellow defensive back Myles Hartsfield.
As first reported by Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, the Panthers do not plan on tendering the three-year veteran. That will, in effect, turn Hartsfield into an unrestricted free agent.
