Sources: Ex-Panthers WR Funchess to join Colts

The Indianapolis Colts will sign former Carolina Panthers receiver Devin Funchess to a one-year deal worth $13 million, sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

Funchess, 24, entered the 2018 season as Carolina's No. 1 receiver opposite Torrey Smith. He seemed secure in that role until a 20-19 loss in his hometown of Detroit on Nov. 18 in which he had five dropped passes.

That and a nagging back issue saw Funchess' role drop dramatically over the final six games. He sat out a loss to Seattle because of the back injury, then had only three catches for 33 yards over the next four games.
