Darren Waller is set to join the Carolina Panthers after reaching an agreement on a free-agent contract, according to multiple reports. The deal is described as one year by one outlet, with Waller transitioning to Carolina following his return to the NFL.

Waller last played for the Miami Dolphins after ending a one-year retirement a year earlier. The Athletic reports he records six receiving touchdowns for Miami during that season, marking his first year back. Yahoo Sports also frames the move as a continuation of his comeback, noting he is heading to Carolina after playing for the Dolphins.

The coverage aligns on the core facts of the agreement and the direction of the move, while differing slightly on contract specifics and recent-stat emphasis. Overall, outlets present the signing as a new one-year opportunity with Carolina for the veteran tight end.
