The Carolina Panthers were recently named a possible trade suitor for a disgruntled edge rusher who is seeking a new deal from his current team.

Canales spoke with reporters following the first session of his team's rookie minicamp on Friday. He was asked about yesterday's somewhat surprising release of veteran outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, who notched a team-leading 5.5 sacks this past season.

Free-agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney suspected that the Carolina Panthers didn't view him as part of the team's future before he was cut on Thursday.
