The Carolina Panthers agreed to a one-year contract with former Las Vegas Raiders linebacker Cory Littleton, the team announced on Sunday night.
Littleton, 28, started 27 of 31 games across two seasons for the Raiders, and gives the Panthers depth at the position after acquiring Damien Wilson, who played last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, earlier this month.
After spending his first four seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, Littleton signed a three-year, $35.25 million free-agent deal with $22 million guaranteed with the Raiders in 2020 and was expected to help in sideline-to-sideline pass coverage.
