Keyshawn a Cat

After turning down a contract proposal from the New York Giants earlier in the week, veteran wide receiver Keyshawn signed with the Carolina Panthers on Thursday. The deal, according to ESPN, is believed to be in the neighborhood of $3.5 million per year with a $5 million signing bonus.

The move gives the Panthers a much-needed complement to the explosive Steve Smith. Prior to the signing, the team didn't have a legitimate No. 2 receiver, and Johnson, even at age 33, is a very solid possession receiver. However, because of his age, Johnson's signing doesn't necessarily mean the Panthers won't be looking at a wideout in the NFL Draft next month. Join the discussion...
