CHARLOTTE — The Panthers added again at outside linebacker, bringing in a young player with potential.
The team has agreed to terms with former Jaguars first-rounder K'Lavon Chaisson to a one-year contract.
Chaisson was Jacksonville's first-round pick (20th overall) in 2020 out of LSU. He played two seasons there (missing most of his second season with a torn ACL in the opener) and had 9.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss. He was first-team All-SEC in 2019.
The 6-foot-3, 245-pounder had 2.0 sacks last year for the Jaguars and 5.0 in four seasons. He missed half of the 2022 season with a knee injury.
The Panthers have already agreed to terms with outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum and are looking at multiple other options for the position.
