Snap count totals for the 2015-16 Carolina Panthers, out of a possible 1,289 plays (postseason included).
Kony Ealy — 739
Jared Allen — 627
Charles Johnson — 490
Mario Addison — 449
Ryan Delaire — 246
Wes Horton — 197
Because he's the only DE who played every game, Ealy finished with the most snaps, but he lost too many to Allen, especially in the Super Bowl.
Kawann Short — 897
Star Lotulelei — 633
Dwan Edwards — 447
Kyle Love — 343
Colin Cole — 49
Could see the top four in a similar rotation next year.
Thomas Davis — 1,159
Luke Kuechly — 951
Shaq Thompson — 442
A.J. Klein — 326
Ben Jacobs — 35
Davis played 89.9 percent of possible snaps while starting all 19 games – not bad for a 32 year old; Thompson's playing time was perhaps more limited than many expected, but it fit perfectly into the Panthers' future plans.
Josh Norman — 1,243
Bené Benwikere — 786
Charles Tillman — 670
Cortland Finnegan — 357
Robert McClain — 225
Teddy Williams — 68
Norman played 96.4 percent of possible snaps in his contract year; when you look at those around him, you can see why the Panthers will at least lock Norman up for one more season with the franchise tag.
Kurt Coleman — 1,199
Roman Harper — 1,070
Tre Boston — 282
Colin Jones — 158
Dean Marlowe — 9
Coleman was on pace to lead the defense in snaps until he sat out the regular-season finale as a precaution; Jones is still listed as a safety, but nearly all his defensive playing time came from the slot in the Buffalo package.
