Safety Nick Scott is back with the Carolina Panthers, signing a one-year contract, the team announced Saturday. Scott, 30, joined Carolina last season to provide depth in the secondary and quickly became a key contributor, starting all 17 games and recording a career-high 111 tackles.
He made a crucial interception in the end zone off Matthew Stafford during Carolina’s Week 13 upset over the Los Angeles Rams and added nine tackles in the Panthers’ first-round playoff loss to Los Angeles. Beyond his on-field production, Scott has been praised for his leadership, helping head coach Dave Canales establish the culture he wants in Carolina’s locker room.
