D.J. Wonnum

Panthers agreed to terms with EDGE D.J. Wonnum, formerly of the Vikings, on a two-year contract.

Wonnum totaled eight sacks in 15 games for the Vikings last season and has now hit that mark twice in his four-year career. The former fourth-round pick will be tasked with replacing some of the sack production long-time Panther Brian Burns provided during his five-year tenure with the team, leaving him with big shoes to fill on a defense that’s been gutted throughout the week. Wonnum has a career pass rush rate of 59.4 percent and will likely work primarily as a pass rusher in Ejiro Evero’s scheme.
