On a day when another of their targets spurned them, the Panthers signed a guy they had in for a recent visit.
The team announced they had signed former Packers wide receiver Jarrett Boykin to a one-year contract.
Boykin spent three years with the Packers, but became a free agent when they didn’t tender him an offer this offseason.
He caught 49 passes in 2013, but fell down the pecking order when the regulars got well and caught just three passes last year.
Boykin grew up in Charlotte, attending Butler High, and has a chance to latch on in a much shallower depth chart than the one he was stuck on in Green Bay.
Earlier this afternoon, cornerback Alan Ball signed with the Bears after his visit to the Panthers.
