A classic depth-filler re-signing with minimal roster impact for Carolina. Five headlines covered the move, mostly framing it as a reunion rather than a meaningful upgrade. Chisena is a known special-teams contributor with limited receiving upside at the NFL level. Fans see this as a low-risk, low-reward roster move to fill out camp numbers. He's likely competing for a practice squad spot or special-teams role at best.

This signing grades out as a bad deal for the Carolina Panthers — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Dan's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL WRs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.2M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the WR market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Dan is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
