Darren Waller signs with Carolina Panthers per Schefter

Darren Waller to Carolina Panthers, per Schefter

Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) reports that former Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller agreed to a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers. No further contract terms were provided in the post.

Note: web research did not confirm this agreement and returned conflicting reports. Treat this as unverified until the Panthers or Waller's camp make an official announcement.

What this means if the deal is real

Waller has dealt with injuries in recent seasons, but a healthy version of him is a legitimate receiving threat at the position. Carolina's tight end depth chart is thin, which could open the door to real target share if he lands on the roster and stays healthy.

Watch for an official confirmation before making any roster moves. If this deal clears, Waller is worth adding in deeper leagues and monitoring in all formats.
