The Panthers are busy today.
In addition to re-signing right guard John Miller to a one-year deal, they’re also adding former Jets outside linebacker Frankie Luvu, according to Joe Person at the Athletic. Luvu is also signing a one-year contract.
It's a one-year deal for Frankie Luvu, btw. https://t.co/xtrqDVw2Sj

Luvu went undrafted after playing his college ball at Washington State. He’s played for the Jets over the last three seaons mostly in a backup role, earning just four starts in 40 games.
Most likely the Panthers see Luvu as a rotational edge rusher. He’s struggled tackling and in coverage but has six sacks, 16 QB hits and 30 pressures since the 2018 season.
