Longtime Rams punter Johnny Hekker has found his new home.
Hekker will be signing with the Panthers, the team announced.
The 32-year-old Hekker has played his entire 10-year career with the Rams and has been a first-team All-Pro four times. But the Rams cut him this week, and now the Panthers have agreed to terms to bring him to Carolina.
Hekker averaged a career-low 44.2 yards per punt last season, but the Panthers still think he’ll be an upgrade for them.
