The Carolina Panthers have secured themselves at least one more season with a couple of their young wideouts.
As announced on Wednesday afternoon, the Panthers have tendered contracts to receivers Jalen Coker and Brycen Tremayne. Both, as exclusive-rights free agents, are now under contract for the 2026 campaign.
So, what does that mean moving forward?
Now, Coker and Tremayne can either sign their one-year tenders or negotiate new contracts with Carolina.
The latter option has been rumored for Coker, the team’s second-leading receiver (394 yards) from 2025. He also shined throughout the Panthers’ wild-card round game against the Los Angeles Rams in January—amassing nine receptions for 134 yards and a touchdown in the 34-31 loss.

Tremayne, who was used primarily on special teams, totaled 14 grabs for 160 yards.
If one or both accept their qualifying offers, they will become restricted free agents in 2027.
