Panthers extend contract of WR Jalen Coker through 2029

The Carolina Panthers have extended the contract of WR Jalen Coker for three years and $34 million. Coker, who joined the Panthers as an undrafted free agent in 2024, expressed confidence in his abilities, stating it was 'teams' loss' for overlooking him. In the 2025 season, Coker contributed significantly, recording 134 receiving yards and a touchdown in a playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams. With this extension, he is expected to take on a larger role in the upcoming 2026 season as Carolina's No. 2 receiving option.
