ARIZONA — Former Arizona Cardinals safety and executive Adrian Wilson recently departed from his role as the Carolina Panthers’ vice president of player personnel earlier this offseason with no explanation on either side.
The Panthers – in a statement given to NBC’s Mike Florio – offered this shortly after people online noticed Wilson suddenly wasn’t on the team’s official website.
“Adrian Wilson will not continue in his position as Vice President of Player Personnel for the Carolina Panthers. Consistent with our organizational policy on employee matters, we will have no further comment.”
It was later revealed that Wilson was arrested earlier this year on three charges of domestic violence, as first reported by ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss.
More details have emerged after Arizona Sports obtained a police report:
Wilson, a member of Arizona’s Ring of Honor, spent over a decade with the Cardinals as a player and started his career as a scout with the team after retiring.
Wilson departed for the Panthers’ opportunity last offseason after Arizona hired general manager Monti Ossenfort.
