CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers plan to sign Washington Redskins free agent cornerback Bashaud Breeland on Wednesday, a league source confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday.
NFL Network, which first reported the news, said the deal is for three years and $24 million, with $11 million in guarantees.
Breeland played college football at Clemson about three hours from Carolina's Bank of America Stadium and grew up about three and a half hours away in Allendale, South Carolina.
He will contend for the starting job opposite James Bradberry that became available when the Panthers traded Daryl Worley to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for wide receiver Torrey Smith.
