Jordan Schultz reports that the Panthers are signing veteran WR DJ Chark to a contract on Friday.
Chark visited Carolina last week on a free-agent visit. The team signed WR Adam Thielen to a three-year deal but could still use help at wide receiver and Chark happens to be the best available option at this point.
Chark, 26, was a second-round pick by the Jaguars out of LSU back in 2018. He signed a four-year, $4,447,229 contract with Jacksonville that includes a $1,314,349 signing bonus.
Chark was testing the market for the first time in his career when he agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal that is fully guaranteed with the Lions.
In 2022, Chark appeared in 11 games for the Lions and caught 30 passes for 502 yards receiving and three touchdowns.
We have him included in our Top 100 – 2023 NFL Free Agents list.
