The Panthers are trying to give quarterback Cam Newton more pieces to work with on offense.
Carolina has agreed to terms with free agent slot wide receiver Jarius Wright on a three-year deal
Marvin Harrison Jersey , a person familiar with the situation said Monday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the
Panthers have not announced the move.
Financial terms of the deal were not immediately known.
The Panthers ranked 28th in the league in passing last season.
The 28-year-old Wright has spent all six NFL seasons with the Vikings and is familiar with Panthers offensive coordinator Norv Turner, having worked under
him for more than two seasons in Minnesota.
The former fourth-round pick was released by the Vikings last week.
The 5-foot-10, 191-pound Wright had 18 receptions for 198 yards and two touchdowns in 2017. His most productive season came in 2014, when he caught 42
passes for 588 yards and two touchdowns.
Earlier this offseason
Antonio Callaway Jersey , the Panthers traded cornerback Daryl Worley to Philadelphia for wide receiver Torrey Smith giving them a new starter opposite
No. 1 receiver Devin Funchess.
Wright has primarily worked in the slot in the past. He has 153 catches for 2,039 yards and 10 touchdowns during his career with Minnesota.
The Panthers are still in the market for a cornerback after a deal fell through for free agent Bashaud Breeland last week. Breeland had agreed to terms
on a contract with Carolina but later failed a physical.

Evgeny Kuznetsov’s breakway goal 5:27 into overtime gave the Washington Capitals a 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 6 on Monday night, and a
berth in the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 20 years.
Kuznetsov took a lead pass from Alexander Ovechkin and tucked the puck by Matt Murray to end Pittsburgh’s two-year reign as Stanley Cup champions and
propel the Capitals into the NHL’s final four for just the third time in
franchise history.
Braden Holtby stopped 21 shots for the Capitals, who will face Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference finals. Alex Chiasson scored his first playoff goal in
four years during a taut
Jacob McQuaide Jersey , tight contest through regulation.
Kris Letang scored for the Penguins and Murray finished with 28 saves but couldn’t close his legs fast enough to stop Kuznetsov’s forehand flick from in
close as Pittsburgh’s bid at becoming the first team in 35 years to win three
consecutive Cups came to an abrupt end.
