Carolina Panthers, A.J. Bouye agree to contract
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers on Wednesday agreed to a deal with veteran cornerback A.J. Bouye as they attempt to improve their secondary heading into this month's NFL draft.
Bouye, a Pro Bowler in 2017, will be suspended for the first two games of the 2021 season as part of a six-game ban he received last year for violations of the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.
He will be allowed to participate in offseason and preseason practices, according to the league.
Carolina signed 10-year veteran corner Rashaan Melvin to a one-year deal earlier in free agency.
