<p>CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers have agreed to one-year contracts with restricted free agent wide receivers Brandon Zylstra and Keith Kirkwood, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.</p>
<p>The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Monday because the team has not yet announced the signings.</p>
<p>Both played minor roles with the Panthers on offense last season, but could see more playing time if the team is unable to re-sign Curtis Samuel, who could be a hot commodity on the free agent market.</p>
<p>Zylstra caught three passes for 35 yards in 2020, but has been a key member of the special teams over the past three seasons.</p>
<p>Kirkwood only played in one game last season because of a broken clavicle. He caught 13 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns in 2018 with the Saints.</p>
