Panthers' DeShawn Williams: Following Evero to Carolina

Williams (knee) agreed to a contract with the Panthers on Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Williams is set to rejoin new Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, who held the same role with the Broncos last season. Over 17 regular-season games with Denver in 2022, the 30-year-old defensive tackle logged career highs in sacks (4.5) and defensive snaps (565) to go along with 37 tackles. Williams is expected to provide valuable depth alongside younger defensive tackles Derrick Brown and Shy Tuttle in Carolina.
