Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Elflein will sign a three-year deal with the Panthers.

Elflein was originally a third-round pick of the Vikings out of Ohio State in 2017. Injuries played a role in Elflein’s underwhelming play and that led to the Vikings releasing him last season. Elflein then signed with the Jets and started six games for them.
While the first four seasons of his career haven’t been ideal, there is still plenty of time for Elflein to turn things around considering he’s only 26 years old.
