Jordan Matthews is 32 years old and attempting to reinvent himself and spark his NFL career after having experienced failure at the wide receiver position. Dan Tonna on X reports that Jordan Matthews has been making waves with the Carolina Panthers and that Ian Thomas may be a surprise cut. 

While team reporters are not always accurate in their analysis, it is worth noting the observations being made by those who cover a team on a regular basis. As no tight end has emerged to steal away the starting job and franchise quarterback Bryce Young in need of a safety blanket and big target over the middle, Jordan Matthews stepping up is a breath of fresh air.

The future of the tight end position in Carolina looks to be Ja’Tavion Sanders, however Jordan Matthews needs to be on fantasy gamers radars, particularly those who deploy the late tight end strategy. Expect blossoming from the Carolina Panthers tight end room to bloom with meager results. In the meantime, it looks as if Jordan Matthews is making a career altering comeback.
