The Carolina Panthers have confirmed that they have signed former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jason Avant on a one-year deal.
The Panthers needed to bolster their options in their receiving corps after wideouts Steve Smith, Brandon LaFell and Ted Ginn all left the club during the off-season.
"We are happy to have Jason with the Panthers," head coach Ron Rivera told the club's official website. "He provides a versatile player at receiver and brings good size as well as experience to the position."
The 30-year-old recorded 38 receptions for 447 yards along with two touchdowns in the 2013 season.
