Free agent running back D’Onta Foreman will take his talents to the Carolina Panthers next season to serve as a nice “change of pace” back with Christian McCaffrey in the backfield. His deal is good for one year, $2 million.
After spending most of his first three seasons in the league injured or on the bench, Foreman revived his NFL career with the Tennessee Titans in 2021.
The former Longhorn tallied 566 yards on 133 carries, good for an impressive 4.3 yards per carry.
Many experts wrote the Tennessee Titans off when superstar running back Derrick Henry went down with an injury. Foreman’s adequate work kept the Titans afloat and was a major reason the Titans secured the top spot in the AFC.

Foreman took home the 2016 Doak Walker Award in his final season as a Texas Longhorn. He is now finding a comfortable role in the NFL.
