The Carolina Panthers have been active in the NFL free agency, securing agreements with several players to bolster their defense. Safety Jordan Fuller, formerly of the Los Angeles Rams, signed a one-year deal with the Panthers, citing his relationship with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero as a key factor. The team also reached a one-year agreement with former Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams safety Nick Scott, who was benched last season, and has previous connections with Evero and defensive pass game coordinator Jonathan Cooley. In a mix-up reported by the media, safety Jaylinn Hawkins, previously with the Falcons and Chargers, was initially said to have signed with the Panthers, but it was later corrected that the New England Patriots had acquired him, along with re-signing wide receiver Kendrick Bourne.
Panthers announce the agreement with Nick Scott, who played at Penn State. Was drafted in 7th round by Rams in 2019 and spent last season in CIN, where he was benched.

Screwed that one up. The #Patriots are signing former #Falcons and #Chargers S Jaylinn Hawkins, sources say. Not the #Panthers, as I’d previously posted. Misread a text. Apologies on that one.
The #Panthers have agreed to terms with S Jaylinn Hawkins on a one-year deal, source says. Former fourth-round pick of the #Falcons is headed to Carolina after a pit stop with the #Chargers last season.
