The Carolina Panthers agreed to a one-year contract with veteran safety Stevie Brown on Wednesday in an attempt to shore up their secondary before the regular season.
Brown's signing was announced on the Panthers' official website.
Brown, 29, was released by the Kansas City Chiefs on Aug. 25.
Brown has not played in an NFL game since 2014. He sat out the entire 2015 season after being released by the Houston Texans and New York Giants. He previously played for the Giants from 2012 to 2014, preceded by stints with the Oakland Raiders, Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts.
