The Carolina Panthers parted ways with Adrian Wilson after the arrest
The news of Wilson's arrest comes only days after the Panthers revealed to ProFootballTalk that he was no longer their vice president of player personnel.
An official for the team informed the media that Adrian Wilson will not be staying on as Vice President of Player Personnel for the Carolina Panthers. "We will not be providing any additional comments in accordance with our organizational policy on employee matters."
Wilson retired and joined the Cardinals front office as a scout in 2015. He advanced to vice president of pro personnel and served as Arizona's co-interim general manager in 2022.
He interviewed in January 2023 for Arizona's general manager position, which eventually went to Monti Ossenfort. A month later, he returned to his home state to become the Panthers' vice president of player personnel. Wilson was born in High Point, North Carolina, and attended college at NC State.
The Arizona Cardinals selected him in the third round in 2001. Wilson spent 12 seasons with the Cardinals, garnering five Pro Bowl appearances. He was named an All-Pro in 2009 and was inducted into the Cardinals' Ring of Honor in 2015.
Wilson had a great 12-year NFL career with the Cardinals, spending time with the Patriots in 2013 (where he never played a game due to an Achilles tendon injury) and the Bears during their 2014 training camp.
