The 30-year-old has played for a total of five different teams in the past five seasons and is known for his speed and versatility as a possible choice for kick and punt returns.
At 5-foot-9 and 175 pounds, Byrd will likely serve as a reserve wide receiver for the Panthers behind starters Adam Thielen and DJ Chark.
