Panthers agree to terms with free agent WR Moore, CB Melvin

The Panthers didn’t waste any time finding a replacement for wide receiver Curtis Samuel, agreeing to terms on a contract with free agent David Moore from the Seahawks

MARCH 19, 2021

Turbulent third season Jackson finished the 2020 season with 34 tackles (22 solo) and three interceptions on 11 passes defended in 14 games played.

Impact The hope was Jackson would fill James Bradberry's shoes as Carolina's top cornerback following the veteran's free-agent departure last offseason. While Jackson responded with two interceptions in his first three games, he was plagued by a toe injury afterward, hurting his performance. Overall, the usually speedy cornerback played just over half of the Panthers' defensive snaps, and although, he still posted a new career high in pass breakups, Jackson also saw his tackle total decline for a second straight year. The mercurial former second-rounder will now enter the final season of his rookie contract in hopes of a healthy and productive 2021 campaign.

Ready to rock Jackson (toe) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.

Impact Coach Matt Rhule said Wednesday that he expects Jackson to play in Sunday's game against Denver, so this news certainly helps confirm that notion. Jackson has missed the last two games with the toe issue, so his addition to the lineup will help bolster the secondary. It's unclear what sort of role Jackson will have for the contest, but he's racked up 18 tackles (12 solo), six pass breakups and three interceptions through 10 games this campaign.
