Waller Joins Panthers, Sanders in Trouble | NFL News

The Panthers just pulled off a bold move, signing veteran tight end Darren Waller to a one-year deal — and it’s got major ripple effects. Waller, a Pro Bowler who came out of retirement last season to post 24 catches, 283 yards, and 6 TDs with the Dolphins, brings elite receiving skills and a fresh dimension to Carolina’s offense. He’ll join training camp to learn new OC Dave Canales’ system and build chemistry with QB Bryce Young — all before the season starts. But here’s the catch: Waller’s arrival puts immense pressure on Ja’Tavion Sanders, whose contested-catch struggles and inconsistent production suddenly look less promising. With Waller poised to take over the role, Sanders’s future in Carolina may be in serious doubt — unless he steps up fast.
