Panthers, Jalen Coker Agree to Three-Year, $35 Million Extension
The Panthers have secured a key offensive player, wide receiver Jalen Coker, with a new three-year deal worth $35 million, according to his agent Matt Glose of NFL Network.
The Carolina Panthers extended a key part of their offense Thursday, reaching a three-year, $35 million deal with receiver Jalen Coker , agent Matt Glose told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Coker was an undrafted free agent out of Holy Cross who initially signed with Carolina in April 2024.
No. 2 on Carolina's receiver depth chart behind Tet McMillan , Coker has 65 catches for 872 yards, with five touchdowns, in his two NFL seasons, appearing in 22 of a possible 34 games. He starred in Carolina's playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams in January, logging nine catches for 134 yards and a score.
"I'm just excited to play for this team, that's all it is," Coker said previously. "All that other stuff, it is what it is. I'm just excited to be here.''
