Panthers Lock in Key Pass Catchers

0:00On April 20th, Carolina Panthers just locked in two key pass catchers with exclusive rights tenders. White receivers Jalen Coker and Bryson Chermaine signed their one-year deals on Monday, right as the team kicked off off-season workouts at the facility. Those tenders came back in January, securing both players for the 2026 season and keeping them from shopping around with the other. 31 teams in free agency. Coker burst onto the scene as an undrafted free agent from last year, becoming the Panthers' number two receiver with fans buzzing about his potential. After a solid rookie campaign, he put up 33 catches for 394 yards and three touchdowns in the regular season, then balled out in the wildcard loss. To the Rams, with 134 yards, and a score in that 34-31 heartbreaker. Chermaine chipped in 14 grabs for 160 yards while holding down special team's duties. With these deals done, the Panthers can now build chemistry early in workouts and gear up for another run next year.
