The Carolina Panthers agree to a three-year contract extension with wide receiver Jalen Coker, totaling $35 million, according to reports cited by multiple outlets. One report attributes the agreement to an AP source, while other coverage cites NFL Media and describes the deal as having been officially announced by the team. The contract keeps Coker with the Panthers through the 2019 season, based on information included in the reporting.
Several sources also frame the move as a confirmation of Coker’s role in Carolina’s offense. Panthers coach Dave Canales is described as having declared late last season that Coker, who joined the team as an undrafted free agent out of Holy Cross in 2024, would be the team’s starting wide receiver moving forward. The extension follows that commitment and is presented across the reports as recognition of Coker’s value to the future of the offense.
While some articles add commentary about Coker’s importance and motivations, all agree on the key terms: a three-year, $35 million extension with the Panthers.
