2026 Projections
Signed a one-year, $4.75 million contract with the Panthers in March of 2026.
Lands with Carolina
Fortner agreed to terms Tuesday on a one-year contract with the Panthers worth $4.75 million, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Fortner started 44 regular-season games over four years with the Jaguars, although he started just 10 games over the past two. The 2022 third-round pick should be favored to win the starting center job in Carolina.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Fortner started all 17 games at center as a rookie third-round pick last season and should do the same in 2023 as long as he remains healthy.
