Baker Mayfield is reportedly expected to start for the Panthers in the first week of the regular NFL season, and Chris Simms believes the QB can bring new life to the team.

The Panthers have trimmed their roster by two in advance of Tuesday’s deadline.

Carolina has cut offensive tackle Austen Pleasants and linebacker Khalan Tolson, the team announced on Monday.

Pleasants appeared in one game for the Panthers last year while on the team’s practice squad. He previously spent time with the Jaguars.

Tolson signed with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent in the spring.

All teams must reduce their rosters to 80 players by Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET. The Panthers must make three more moves.
