The Facts:
The Carolina Panthers plan to explore the possibility of signing Crumpler once he officially appears on the NFL waiver list, according to sources. Though the Falcons announced the release of Crumpler and other players on Friday, their names did not appear on the league's waiver list late in the afternoon. A new list won't be released again until Monday afternoon.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to the Observer, Carolina GM Marty Hurney declined to comment, but did confirm that Crumpler had not yet shown up on a waiver list. The delay could keep Crumpler from signing with a new team for perhaps as much as a week. ... Second-year TE Jeff King was Carolina's second-leading receiver with 46 catches for 406 yards and two touchdowns, but Crumpler traditionally has played well against the Panthers. ... Seattle is also expected to be interested in Crumpler. Former Falcons coach Jim Mora is a Seahawks assistant.
