Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - The Carolina Panthers have reportedly agreed
to terms with rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen.
According to the Charlotte Observer, Clausen has a four-year deal that could
be worth as much as $6.3 million.
The Panthers begin training camp Wednesday.
Clausen was selected by the Panthers in the second round of April's draft
after a standout career at Notre Dame. He was Carolina's first pick of the
2010 draft because the team did not have a first-round choice.
As a junior in 2009, Clausen threw for 3,722 yards with 28 touchdowns and just
four interceptions. He started 34 of the 35 games he played during his career
with the Fighting Irish, throwing for 8,148 yards with 60 touchdowns and 27
interceptions.
