Dan Morgan may have landed another playmaker.

Former Los Angeles Rams safety Jordan Fuller will sign with the Carolina Panthers on a one-year, $5.2 million deal, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Fuller met with the Panthers on Friday, which is likely when the two sides agreed to the deal.

He is also a former sixth-round pick, drafted by the Rams. Already, he has some history with the Panthers' defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero. Fuller was coached by Evero in 2020 and 2021 when the defensive sage was his position coach.

Fuller brings depth to the secondary after several big-name free agents left the Panthers in the opening days of free agency.

During the 2023 season, Fuller collected three interceptions – proving he was a ballhawk.

On Friday, the Panthers inked a deal with outside linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson.
