The Carolina Panthers have signed veteran tight end Darren Waller to a one-year contract, according to an announcement made Wednesday by his representation at Rosenhaus Sports.
Waller, who will turn 34 next month, recently emerged from retirement to rejoin the NFL. Last season, he played for the Miami Dolphins after being acquired from the New York Giants, recording 24 receptions for 283 yards and six touchdowns across nine games before suffering a groin injury that landed him on injured reserve.
The experienced pass-catcher brings significant credentials to Carolina’s offensive lineup. During his 2020 season with the Las Vegas Raiders, Waller earned Pro Bowl honors after hauling in 107 catches for 1,196 yards and nine touchdowns. Over his NFL career, he has accumulated 374 receptions for 4,407 yards and 26 total touchdowns.
