The Panthers re-signed Anderson to a one-year deal Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will return to Carolina for next year and will likely serve as solid depth and play on special teams. The 31-year-old registered 18 tackles (nine solo) last year, and he failed to record a sack for the second consecutive season. Anderson has now had two of the least productive seasons of his career since leaving the Jets following the 2020 season, but the 2015 third-round pick will hope to bounce back next year.

The Panthers activated Anderson (illness) from the reserve/non-football illness list Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was placed on the reserve/NFI list in late October, and he was sidelined until Carolina designated him to return to practice Wednesday. The 31-year-old recorded 12 tackles while playing a rotational role at defensive end over the first six games of the season, so he should slot into a similar role alongside Marquis Hayes versus Seattle on Sunday.

The Panthers signed Anderson (undisclosed) on Monday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson reached an injury settlement with New England on Thursday and quickly found a new home in Carolina. It's unclear what landed him on IR at the end of August, but he appears to be healthy after signing a deal with the Panthers. The 31-year-old appeared in just four games last season -- his lone campaign with New England -- before suffering a torn pectoral. However, before 2021, he'd been an integral part of every defense he'd played for since 2015 -- three years with the Colts and three years with the Jets. In a corresponding move, the Panthers waived second-year defensive tackle Daviyon Nixon.

The 31-year-old appeared in only four games last season -- his first with New England -- before a suffering a torn pectoral, but before 2021, he'd been an integral part of every defense he'd played for since 2015 -- three years with the Colts and three years with the Jets.
