CHARLOTTE - After nearly a month of new additions through free agent signings and a high-profile trade, the Panthers have made a number of important additions to the roster.
On Friday, the team announced something nearly as important as the new names...their numbers.
Quarterback Sam Darnold will wear No. 14, the number he wore with the New York Jets from 2018-20 and in his collegiate days at Southern Cal. That number was previously worn by wide receiver Pharoh Cooper, but hasn't been used by a quarterback since Joe Webb in 2016.

Wide receiver David Moore takes his number from Seattle, No. 83, while cornerback Rashaan Melvin will sport No. 29.
