After splitting his college career between the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Alcorn State, Cherales entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2023 with the New York Jets. He was claimed off waivers by the Panthers after they made initial roster cuts that summer.
Chelerus has since appeared in 33 games for Carolina. Last season, the 27-year-old linebacker set career highs in games played (14), starts (four), combined tackles (32) and passes defended (one).
In addition to Cheralus, the Panthers also re-signed wide receiver David Moore, tight end James Mitchell, defensive lineman LaBryan Ray, outside linebacker Thomas Inkum, cornerbacks Akeleeb Evans and Robert Rochell, safety Isaiah Simmons and long snapper JJ Jansen.
