The Carolina Panthers have come to
terms with quarterback Jimmy Clausen on a four-year contract,
ensuring they'll have no rookie holdouts at the start of training
camp.
The second-round pick from Notre Dame agreed to his deal hours
before the Panthers reported to Wofford College on Wednesday. He
was the last of Carolina's 10 draft selections to be unsigned.
Clausen will likely start practice on Thursday as the
third-string quarterback behind Matt Moore and Hunter Cantwell, but
could eventually challenge Moore for the starting job. The Panthers
released seven-year starter Jake Delhomme in the offseason.
Projected by many to be a top-10 pick, Clausen had a stunning
fall in April's draft, landing at Carolina with the 48th overall
selection.
