Former LSU, Jaguars edge K’Lavon Chaisson signs with Panthers
Former LSU first-round pick K'Lavon Chaisson has found a new home.
The free agent who spent the first four seasons of his career with the Jacksonville Jaguars is signing with the Carolina Panthers on a one-year deal worth $5 million. The news was first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
A first-team All-SEC selection on LSU’s national title team in 2019, Chaisson went to Jacksonville with the 20th pick in the 2020 draft. However, his production has been limited.
He has started 11 of the 57 games he’s appeared in over his career, and he’s totaled 73 tackles and four sacks with 11 tackles for loss.

Carolina, coming off the worst finish in the league in 2023, will hope it can get more out of Chaisson than the Jaguars managed to.
