The Panthers have now also signed the first of their seven draft picks. The deal has reached with seventh-round choice Captain Munnerlyn.

This weak on Wednesday, Carolina Panthers also waived the undrafted rookie running back Markus Manson and cornerback Reggie Sullivan.

Captain Munnerlyn is 5-foot-8 and he is expected to compete for Panthers kick returning job and also for a spot at backup cornerback. Munnerlyn is having a total of five interceptions, two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 36 games at South Carolina.

Carolina Panthers are not expected to have trouble getting their rookies signed before the start of training camp on Aug. 2 without a first-round pick.
