Quote:
league source tells PFT’s Mike Florio that the Panthers and Johnson have agreed on a deal that will keep Johnson in Carolina.

The Panthers’ front office and Johnson’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, have worked out a six-year, $76 million deal with $32 million guaranteed, including a $30 million signing bonus.

The 25-year-old Johnson started all 16 games for the Panthers last season and recorded 11.5 sacks.

Peppers didn't want to sign a long term deal to remain in Carolina at that time. He also was 30, Johnson is 5 years younger.

Carolina however may have overpaid here. He had 10 sacks in his first 3 years before exploding last year. Can he replicate those numbers going forward ? Ron Rivera is a very good DC, and one who can put him in a position to do so but the pressure is now on Johnson to prove he isn't a one hit wonder.

in that case, carolina could've traded peppers' ass so they could get something for him. They really dropped the ball here.

I'll chalk this up to a rookie head coach and/or the unusual offseason.
