The Panthers have released 32-year old DT Damione Lewis.  Lewis played in all 16 games for the Panthers last season and he made 41 tackles, had 4 tackles for a loss and he had 1/2 a sack.  Lewis played 3 years for the Panthers in which he appeared in 46 games making 113 tackles, forcing a fumble, defensing 6 passes and he had 7.5 sacks.  The Panthers want to get younger along the D-Line starting this season and that is the reason for this move.
