Just saw it on Panthers.com. They are not giving any details right now. Now we need to sign a veteran OL.

Guess it's wait-and-see.The Carolina Panthers released veteran offensive lineman Geoff Hangartner on Thursday, leaving the starting right guard spot up for grabs.
Hangartner has started 83 games, including 12 last season for Carolina, during his eight-year career with the Panthers and Buffalo Bills.
The move was a bit surprising considering Hangartner had been running with the first team at camp, and the player Carolina drafted to eventually replace him -- Edmund Kugbila from Valdosta State -- has missed the majority of training camp with a pulled hamstring after sitting out OTAs with a knee injury.
Backup quarterback Derek Anderson called Hangartner one of the most popular players in the locker room, saying, "It's tough, but somebody is going to have to step up."
