After reviving his career with the Tennessee Titans in 2021, running back D’Onta Foreman has found a new home in free agency.
According to multiple reports, Foreman will sign with the Carolina Panthers. Per Josina Anderson of USA TODAY, it’s a one-year deal worth $2 million.
A former third-round pick of the Houston Texans in 2017, Foreman’s career got off to a promising start, but it was derailed for a few years after tearing his Achilles late in his rookie campaign.
Foreman joined the Titans in 2021 in the wake of Derrick Henry’s injury and proceeded to outplay fellow running backs Adrian Peterson and Dontrell Hilliard, which landed him the starting role for Tennessee.
Foreman finished with 133 carries for 566 yards (4.3 yards per carry) and three scores in nine games. He also added four carries for 66 yards in the divisional round loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Texas product won’t get the starting job as long as Christian McCaffrey is in Carolina, but with the former No. 8 overall pick’s injury history, Foreman has a good shot to see significant snaps.
As for Tennessee, this is a tough loss after how well Foreman played in 2021. The Titans, who recently cut Darrynton Evans, will be in the market for multiple backs this offseason.
