That salary ranks Anderson as the 18th-highest-paid receiver in the NFL, ahead of Davante Adams and Stefon Diggs.

Anderson was in the last year of his deal which pays him $8 million this season. The Panthers are banking on the star to help new quarterback Sam Darnold settle into the role in Carolina. The pair were teammates with the New York Jets and the NFC South franchise will be hoping the two can take the Panthers offense to another level.

NFL playing career

After a solid college football career at Temple University, Robby Anderson did not hear his name read out during the 2016 NFL Draft.

New York Jets

He was quickly snapped up by the New York Jets, though, who signed him to a three-year, $1.63 million contract that included a signing bonus of $10,000.

Anderson would go on to play four seasons in the Big Apple, becoming a starting-caliber NFL receiver. His best season in New York was in 2017/18 when he had 63 receptions for 941 yards and seven touchdowns.

Carolina Panthers

The rising wide receiver signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the Carolina Panthers in April 2020. The deal included $12 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $8 million.

Anderson was reunited with his former Temple University head coach Matt Rhule, who had just been hired by the Panthers. In his first season with the Panthers, the wideout had a career-best year. He recorded 95 receptions for 1,096 yards and three touchdowns. The 28-year-old receiver seemingly did enough to warrant the franchise signing him to a big, fat contract extension today.
