The Facts:
Mangum, who ranks third in Panthers history with 126 games played, announced his retirement Wednesday. Mangum, who turns 34 in August, played in 15 games in 2006, but started only five. He caught 21 passes for 170 yards and one touchdown and saw time on special teams despite battling foot and hip injuries.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Mangum trails only PK John Kasay (156) and S Mike Minter (148) in games played, but may have had trouble making the 2007 squad. Carolina is looking to find pass-catching tight ends under new OC Jeff Davidson and Mangum is primarily a blocker.
