Panthers sign Jason Avant.

+

Panthers signed Jason Avant, formerly of the Eagles, to a one-year deal. Avant will pair with the newly acquired Jerricho Cotchery to form one of the most underwhelming starting wideout duos in the league. With every impact free agent wide receiver signed, the Panthers are simply looking for cheap veterans to complement the playmakers they will likely draft this May. Avant caught 38 passes for 447 yards and two touchdowns with the Eagles last season. Related: Eagles
