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.

STACKED’s take

Legette must step up in 2026 or face non-re-signing after rookie deal.

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, the source indicates this is a critical year for Legette to take a major step forward; if he remains in the same position as 2025, the Panthers are unlikely to re-sign him after his rookie deal expires. He's safe for the 2026 season due to his rookie contract status.
