The Carolina Panthers have reached a four-year deal with running back Miles Sanders, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.
Sanders, 25, is coming off a career year for the Philadelphia Eagles. He was selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time after racking up 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground for the 14-3 Eagles. He became the first Eagles running back to eclipse the 1,000-yard rushing mark in a season since LeSean McCoy in 2014.
The Panthers had made re-signing D'Onta Foreman a priority prior to free agency, but with no agreement, they moved on to Sanders -- although bringing back Foreman has not been ruled out, a league source said.
