The Carolina Panthers agreed to sign former Denver Broncos linebacker Joey Jewell to a three-year, $22.75 million contract on Tuesday, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. The deal includes a $7 million signing bonus and has $10 million fully guaranteed at the time of signing.
Per Adam Caplan of Pro Football Network, the Green Bay Packers were “among teams interested” in Jewell before he went to Carolina. So although the team has added safety Xavier McKinney and running back Josh Jacobs, along with the re-signing of cornerback Keisean Nixon, the Packers must still think they have enough cap space available this offseason to address the linebacker position — their largest untouched need.
