The Carolina Panthers' search for experienced safety help continued Tuesday when they brought in Major Wright.

According to a team source, Wright's on-field workout went well, but as of late Tuesday afternoon, the Panthers were planning to keep their 75th roster spot open.

Wright was warming up for his workout as the Panthers walked off the field from their Tuesday morning practice. Quarterback Cam Newton and tight end Greg Olsen shouted their hellos while safety Kurt Coleman spent a few minutes chatting with the 7-year veteran.

"With Dean Marlowe and his situation right now, we can't wait," coach Ron Rivera said before Wright's workout. "So we brought a guy in that was in a training camp and we want to take a real good look at him."

Wright, 28, spent the past two seasons in Tampa Bay. He made nine starts in 21 games with 76 tackles and no interceptions. Set to make $1.75 million this year, the Bucs cut Wright after he lost out to rookie Ryan Smith for the team's fourth safety spot.

Wright was a 2010 3rd round pick by Chicago, where he spent his first four seasons before following coach Lovie Smith to Tampa Bay. In 42 starts with the Bears, Wright intercepted nine passes, returning three of those for touchdowns.

With four of their seven safeties dealing with varying degrees of injuries, the Panthers worked out veterans Donte Whitner and Stevie Brown on Saturday. But Carolina let them leave without contracts, deciding instead to see who teams would release during two waves of cuts this week. They may again be searching come Wednesday morning.
