I think Xavier Legette gets every opportunity to take the WR3/4 spot this season. I think he'll get mixed in a bit regardless of how much Chris Brazell plays. But if he continues to be in the same position he was in 2025, I don't see Carolina re-signing him. He's going to be safe next season just because he's on a rookie deal, but this is the year to take a major step forward, if it's ever coming.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Legette has a make-or-break 2026 season to prove he belongs in the Panthers' WR rotation.

Xavier Legette is expected to get every opportunity to compete for the WR3/4 spot this season and will get mixed in regardless of Chris Brazell's playing time. However, if he remains in the same position as 2025, the source does not see Carolina re-signing him; this is a critical year for him to take a major step forward.
