David Njoku to Panthers? Free Agent Fit

0:00On April 5th, Carolina Panthers fans hold up. Could David and Jocou be their next free agent, Jim? CBS Sports's Garapodale just linked the former first round tied into Charlotte as the top fit among remaining free agents. He's turning 30 in 2026, with injury bumps making him a smarter buy now. If healthy, and Jocou's a mismatched nightmare in the middle of the field and red zone. Panthers are comfy with their tight-end group, but production's been quiet. No one's cracked 500 receiving yards since Greg Olson back in 2019. Tommy Trimble ain't scaring defenses enough. And Jocou peaked with a pro-bowl knot almost three seasons ago, snagging 81 balls for eights and 82 yards and six touchdowns with a... Browns. Last year, over 12 games, he posted 33 catches, 293 yards and four scores. Word is, he done locked the middle for Bryce Young and juiced the NFC South Champs. Free agency is still cooking. Panthers might just splash for that edge.
