The Carolina Panthers on Tuesday released running back DeAngelo Williams.

“DeAngelo will forever be remembered as one of the quintessential Panthers of this era,” head coach Ron Rivera said. “He holds all of our running back records and his 20 total touchdowns in the 2008 season was a truly special feat. I really enjoyed watching DeAngelo grow over the past four years and wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”

Injuries limited Williams to six regular season games for Carolina in 2014. Williams rushed for 219 yards on 62 carries and totaled five receptions for 44 yards. Williams played in two postseason games, rushing for 30 yards on six carries and recording two catches for two yards.

Williams, who has spent his entire nine-year NFL career with the Panthers, leaves as Carolina’s all-time leader with 6,846 rushing yards, 1,432 rushing attempts, 46 rushing touchdowns and 18 games with 100 or more rushing yards.
