Panthers Re-Sign Safety Nick Scott to One-Year Deal Worth Up to $3.25 Million

The move preserves continuity in Ejiro Evero’s secondary.

Overview

  • Carolina announced it agreed to terms to bring back the starting safety, with the deal value reported by agents Jeremy Appledorf and Ed Wasielewski.
  • Scott recorded a career-high 111 tackles in 2025, started all 17 games, and finished second on the team in tackles.
  • He logged 1,035 defensive snaps and made a November interception against the Rams that snapped Matt Stafford’s streak.
  • He played every defensive snap and tallied nine tackles in the Jan. 10 Wild Card loss to Los Angeles.
  • Retaining Scott keeps both 2025 starting safeties in place, reducing the urgency to draft the position early.
