The Carolina Panthers agree to terms with wide receiver Jalen Coker on a three-year, $35 million contract extension, according to multiple reports. The deal keeps Coker with the team through the 2019 season, with figures reported as $35 million over three years. Several outlets attribute the details to league sources, including reporting from NFL Media/AP, and note that the extension follows the team’s determination to build its offense around Coker.
Carolina coach Dave Canales publicly indicated late last season that Coker, who joined the team after signing as an undrafted free agent from Holy Cross in 2024, would serve as the team’s starting wide receiver moving forward. Yahoo Sports and other outlets describe the extension as a confirmation of that commitment.
One outlet also says the Panthers officially announce the contract extension. Across coverage, all accounts describe the same core terms: a multi-year extension, valued at $35 million over three years, for the wide receiver.
