The Carolina Panthers just had themselves another successful free-agent visit.
As first reported by NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, the team is expected to sign former Los Angeles Rams safety Jordan Fuller. Rapoport’s colleague Tom Pelissero added that the deal is a one-year agreement worth up to $5.25 million.
Fuller, who met with the Panthers on Friday, was selected by the Rams in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL draft. The Ohio State University product spent all four of his pro campaigns in Los Angeles—where he amassed 279 combined tackles, seven interceptions, four forced fumbles and 46 starts over 48 games.
It’d be out west where Fuller first crossed paths with current Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero—who served as Fuller’s position coach in 2020 and the secondary coach in 2021. He also worked with Carolina’s secondary/cornerbacks coach Jonathan Cooley, who was a defensive assistant, assistant secondary coach and defensive backs coach for the Rams from 2020 to 2022.
In addition to Fuller, the Panthers reportedly reached an agreement with outside linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson on Friday.
