I am not saying you are wrong. I got the info from AP. :

05/01/2007 12:31 PM - Veteran wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson was released by the Panthers on Tuesday.

Veteran wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson was released by the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday, the St. Petersburg Times reported.
"They said they wanted to get younger," Johnson told the newspaper. "That's fine with me. I'd like to go somewhere and help someone win another Super Bowl."

The move came a month after the Panthers paid Johnson a $3 million roster bonus, and three days after they selected another former Southern California receiver in the second round of the draft.
