Released by Carolina
The Panthers released Ford on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Ford was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury during the playoffs while with the Packers last season and signed with Carolina just 13 days ago. The 29-year-old has appeared in 86 career games (21 starts) and has six interceptions across the last three years. Ford should find work elsewhere at some point in 2024.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Ford is set to step in as the starting strong safety in his second season with the Packers. Ford recorded three interceptions in 2022, and the departure of Adrian Amos opens up some opportunities for stops, so there is a chance he could be a fantasy factor during the upcoming campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Favorite for starting role
Ford is the most likely candidate to replace Adrian Amos in the Packers secondary, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
A sixth-round pick of the Cardinals in 2017, Ford bounced through two other teams before landing in Green Bay last year, and he wound up playing all 17 games while handling a career-high 424 defensive snaps. Amos is currently unsigned and could return to Green Bay in free agency, but the team hasn't made any significant additions to the roster at safety, leaving Ford as the likely next man up to start opposite Darnell Savage.
