The Carolina Panthers have reached an agreement with former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Devin Lloyd on a multi-year contract, according to Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
The deal is a three-year agreement worth a total of $45 million, with $25 million of that money fully guaranteed. The negotiations were handled and finalized by Lloyd's agents, Andre Odom and AJ Stevens. Lloyd, a Pro Bowl linebacker, transitions to the Panthers after spending the start of his career as a standout defender for the Jaguars.
Since being selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, Lloyd has been a cornerstone of the Jacksonville defense, providing versatility and high-level production. His departure leaves a significant vacancy in the Jaguars' lineup, while the Panthers gain a veteran leader with proven playmaking ability. This signing represents a major defensive acquisition for Carolina as they look to bolster their roster.
