Panthers, Everett Brown agree on four-year deal
The Carolina Panthers and rookie Everett Brown have agreed on a four-year deal worth $4.3 million, according to David Scott of the Charlotte Observer.
The contract includes $2.6875 million in guarantees and Brown is expected to sign the dotted line by Monday.
Brown, who was the Panthers' second-round choice, was the team's first selection in this year's NFL draft. Although he was selected in the second round, many projected Brown as a first-rounder.
The Panthers used their first-round pick in next year's draft in order to trade up with San Francisco to draft Brown.
“I'll have a little chip on my shoulder from every time I was passed up on the night of April 25,” said Brown. “A lot of it is never having been in the situation where I was passed up when they're picking teams. Even in Little League. So, having that go on before my eyes is really motivating me.”
