The Panthers released Chaisson on Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Chaisson linked up with Carolina in March after spending the first four years of his career in Jacksonville, but the Panthers have now decided to move in another direction. The 2020 first-round pick appeared in 17 regular-season games with the Jaguars last season, recording 13 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one pass defended. Either DJ Johnson or Eku Leota figure to start opposite Jadeveon Clowney in Carolina's pass rush unit after Chaisson's release.
