He started five games for the Panthers last season, completing 59.4 percent of his passes with three touchdowns and three interceptions.
In three seasons with the Panthers, Walker started seven of the 15 games he played. He has completed 131 of 228 passes for 1,461 yards with five touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
