The Carolina Panthers have reached an agreement on terms with former Green Bay Packers left tackle Rasheed Walker, according to Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Walker, a former seventh-round pick out of Penn State, joins the Panthers after a productive tenure in Green Bay. During the 2023 season, Walker emerged as a primary starter for the Packers, taking over the blindside protection duties and appearing in 17 games with 15 starts. His performance was instrumental in the Packers' late-season surge and postseason appearance.
The move to sign Rasheed Walker signals the Carolina Panthers' commitment to bolstering their offensive line depth and providing veteran competition at the tackle position. Walker originally entered the league as the 249th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and quickly developed into a reliable blindside protector. He is expected to compete for a significant role within the Panthers' offensive front as they look to improve their pass protection for the upcoming season.
Details regarding the specific terms and length of the contract have not yet been made public. The team is expected to officially announce the signing following the completion of a physical.
