Anderson was one of the first potential 2020 free agent targets we profiled this year. He’s a superb fit for the team given his previous experience working with Matt Rhule at Temple and the Panthers’ needs at the position.
In 62 games, Anderson has totaled 207 catches, 3,059 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns. He projects as the new No. 2 wide receiver on the depth chart behind D.J. Moore. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a better receiver than Curtis Samuel, but he is a better fit with the team’s new starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.
This is the fourth wide receiver the team has signed already in 2020 since free agency began. The others are Keith Kirkwood, Seth Roberts and Pharoh Cooper.
