Panthers ink Bridgewater
Day joins Colts
CHARLOTTE, NC, March 26, (AP): The Panthers have officially signed free agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to a threeyear contract.
A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press last week that the contract is worth $63 million. The person spoke on condition of anonymity last week because the team doesn’t release financial terms of a contract. Bridgewater replaces 2011 No. 1 overall pick Cam Newton, who was released on Tuesday after nine seasons with the team.
The Panthers also announced they have signed former XFL quarterback P.J. Walker to a two-year contract. Walker is expected to battle for the backup QB spot with last year’s third-round draft pick Will Grier.
The Indianapolis Colts added another piece to their defense by signing Sheldon Day. Terms of the deal were not immediately available.
He’s the second former San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle to join the Colts since free agency opened last week. The Colts acquired All-Pro DeForest Buckner in a trade last week.
The 6-foot-1, 285-pound Day has played in 56 games in four seasons with Jacksonville and San Francisco. He has 53 tackles, 14 tackles for loss and six sacks. The Indianapolis native was originally taken by the Jaguars in the fourth round of the 2016 draft. He was the runner-up for Indiana’s Mr Football Award in 2011.
The Arizona Cardinals have agreed to terms on one-year deals with defensive lineman Trevon Coley and running back D.J. Foster, the team said.
The 25-year-old Coley provides depth on the Cardinals’ defensive line. He played in seven games with the Indianapolis Colts last season and made 29 starts with the Cleveland Browns over two seasons in 2017 and 2018.
The 26-year-old Foster played in six games with the Cardinals last year before being put on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. He’ll provide depth in a backfield that includes starter Kenyan Drake and Chase Edmonds.
The Las Vegas Raiders have re-signed linebacker Kyle Wilber
to bring back a key special teams contributor.
The Raiders announced the move to keep Wilber when they also made official several deals agreed to in the opening week of free agency.
The Raiders announced they signed linebacker Cory Littleton,
quarterback Marcus Mariota, tight end Jason Witten, receiver Nelson Agholor and running back Rod Smith.
Stefen Wisniewski is finally home. And the Pittsburgh Steelers now have the most Watts per capita of any team in the NFL.
The Pittsburgh Steelers officially signed the well-traveled Wisniewski to a two-year deal, bringing the veteran offensive lineman to his hometown. Pittsburgh also officially signed fullback Derek Watt, the older brother of outside T.J. Watt, to a three-year contract.
