Panthers' Sam Martin: Heading to Carolina

The Panthers are set to sign Martin to a one-year contract worth up to $3 million, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Martin was released by the Bills on Thursday after spending the last three seasons in Buffalo, and he'll head to Carolina to replace Johnny Hekker. Across 17 regular-season games in 2024, Martin averaged 46.7 yards per punt and landed 25 punts inside the 20-yard line.
