The Panthers signed Taylor to a contract Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Taylor was not on an NFL team roster or practice squad during the 2025 season. He played for the Columbus Aviators in the UFL before a stint in the CFL with the Ottawa Redblacks, eventually being released in May. Now in Carolina, Taylor will have the opportunity to audition for a spot on the Panthers' 53-man roster or practice squad by the end of training camp.

Steelers' Roc Taylor: Logs 38 yards in victory
Rotowire
Taylor secured two of three targets for 38 yards during Saturday's 31-25 preseason win over the Jaguars.
Taylor signed with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent in April following a productive collegiate career at Memphis. He isn't guaranteed to make Pittsburgh's 53-man roster in 2025, but he's impressed through his size and physicality early in training camp. The 22-year-old saw some looks in the third quarter of Saturday's matchup, and it's possible that he continues to earn some work ahead of the regular season. While Taylor's role is far from guaranteed, the undrafted rookie could make a case for some regular-season playing time if he continues to impress in camp, as the Steelers don't yet have many receivers locked into roles behind DK Metcalf heading into 2025.
