The Panthers have added some defensive line depth, Ben Levine of Pro Football Rumors reports. Agent Brett Tessler tweeted that defensive tackle Taylor Stallworth has signed a one-year deal with the organization.
Despite going undrafted out of South Carolina in 2018, Stallworth has managed to put together a productive five-year career. The defensive lineman got into 18 games through two seasons with the Saints to begin his career, and he later appeared in 32 games for the Colts between 2020 and 2021.
Stallworth split this past season with the Chiefs and Texans, compiling 10 tackles in seven games. He landed on Houston’s IR back in May, but he was released via injury settlement a few weeks later. In 57 career games (two starts), the 27-year-old has collected 52 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and 14 QB hits. He’s also seen time in four postseason contests.
In Carolina, Stallworth will be reunited with head coach Frank Reich, who spent two years coaching the defensive lineman in Indianapolis.
