Panthers make pair of returns official
The returns of two Panthers were announced on Thursday.
The Carolina Panthers have secured the returns of two more players. As announced on Thursday, the team has officially re-signed safety Nick Scott and punter Sam Martin. Scott will be back on a one-year pact worth up to $3.
25 million while Martin has been locked in on a two-year deal worth up to $5 million. Scott is set to enter his third season in Carolina, where he has made 22 starts over 28 games. The seven-year veteran amassed a career-high in combined tackles (111)—which helped him also rake in the fourth-highest total of performance-based pay amongst all NFL players—while recording an interception and fumble recovery in 2025.
Martin is coming off his first campaign with the Panthers. He punted at an average net of 40. 5 yards and notched the ninth-most attempts inside the 20-yard line (27).
