According to Jordan Schultz, the Panthers are signing veteran G Gabe Jackson to a contract.
The team confirmed the news and added it will be to the practice squad initially. He was in Carolina for a visit today.
The Panthers are in dire need of offensive line reinforcements, especially at guard.
Jackson, 32, is a former third-round pick of the Raiders back in 2014. He was in the final year of his four-year, $2.952 million contract when he agreed to a new five-year, $56 million extension that included $26 million guaranteed with the Raiders in 2017.
Jackson made a base salary of $9.35 million for the 2020 season and was set to make that same amount in 2021 when the Raiders traded him to the Seahawks for a 2021 fifth-round pick.
He then signed a three-year, $22.575 million extension with the team that same year. The Seahawks cut him in March, however.
In 2022, he appeared in and started in 15 games at guard for Seattle.
