The Panthers are signing former Pro Bowl wide receiver DJ Chark, the team announced Friday. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport broke the news of the signing and reported that Carolina and the 26-year-old have agreed to terms on a one-year deal.
Chark spent last season with the Lions after playing his first four years with the Jaguars. He caught 30 passes for 502 yards and three touchdowns as one of Jared Goff’s top targets in Detroit.
Chark will now enter the fold in Carolina as the Panthers enter a new era on offense. Carolina traded away top wide receiver DJ Moore as part of a package to acquire the No. 1 pick in the draft from the Bears. Even though the Panthers spent a mid-round pick on Ole Miss QB Matt Corral last season, Carolina is expected to select a quarterback once again at the top of the draft next month.
