The Carolina Panthers have made a bold move to bolster their offense, announcing the signing of Clemson tight end Jake Briningstool to a two-year contract. The deal marks an exciting step for both the team and the young star as Briningstool transitions to the NFL after an impressive collegiate career.
Briningstool, known for his athleticism, size, and reliable hands, was a standout at Clemson, where he consistently proved to be a dynamic weapon in the passing game. Over his college career, he racked up impressive numbers, showcasing his ability to stretch the field and create mismatches against opposing defenses. His combination of speed and agility makes him an ideal fit for the Panthers’ evolving offensive scheme.
The Panthers have been actively seeking to strengthen their tight end room, and Briningstool’s addition gives quarterback Bryce Young a promising new target. Head coach Dave Canales praised the signing, noting Briningstool’s work ethic and potential to make an immediate impact.
“Jake is a special talent,” Canales said. “We’re excited to get him into our system and help him grow into a key part of our offense.”
The two-year deal reflects the Panthers’ confidence in Briningstool’s ability to quickly adapt to the professional level. Fans can expect to see him heavily involved in both red-zone situations and across the middle of the field. With this signing, Carolina continues to invest in building a young, explosive offense for the future.
