The Panthers will host free agent receiver Mike Williams next week, Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer reports.
The Chargers released Williams earlier this week to save $20 million on their salary cap.
The team made Williams a first-round pick in 2017, and he served as the No. 2 receiver opposite Keenan Allen. The Chargers traded Allen to the Bears this week as they rebuild at the position.
Williams, 29, had 1,000-yard seasons in 2019 and 2022 and led the league in yards per catch with 20.4 in 2019.
He is working his way back from a torn ACL in Week 3 last season.
In seven seasons with the Chargers, Williams caught 309 passes for 4,806 yards and 31 touchdowns.
