Panthers Sign Luke Fortner for Offensive Line Boost

Carolina Panthers Strengthen Offensive Line with Luke Fortner Signing

The Carolina Panthers have bolstered their offensive line by agreeing to terms with Luke Fortner, a seasoned center from the Jacksonville Jaguars and New Orleans Saints. Fortner, a Kentucky alum, has appeared in 68 games and started 44, including 10 last season with the Saints. His impressive pass protection skills, allowing only a 4.3% quarterback pressure rate, make him a valuable addition. This move fills a gap left by Cade Mays, who reportedly signed with the Detroit Lions. With Fortner now anchoring the middle, the Panthers gain stability up front for the new season.
