The Carolina Panthers agree to sign veteran tight end Darren Waller to a one-year contract, according to multiple reports. Outlets describe the deal as a free-agent addition and note that the Panthers make the signing official after reaching terms.
The articles provide overlapping career context. Waller is a former Pro Bowl tight end (including recognition in 2020) who previously produced back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons earlier in his career. After returning from a one-year retirement and playing for the Miami Dolphins last season, he records six receiving touchdowns, as noted by one outlet. Other coverage focuses more directly on the Panthers’ roster move and contract length rather than detailed performance history.
Overall, sources agree on the fundamentals: Waller and the Panthers reach a one-year agreement, he returns to the NFL after last season with Miami, and the signing is finalized for Carolina’s offseason roster planning. Some reports add procedural details such as the team waiving players corresponding to the roster change.
