Captain Munnerlyn: Panthers ‘real quiet’ on new contract
By Mike Dyce
The Carolina Panthers enjoyed a successful season in 2013, landing a divisional title and a first round bye. A lot of their success was due to their defense and secondary, but cornerback Captain Munnerlyn says the Panthers have been “real quiet” when it comes to a new deal.
“It’s been real quiet, which is shocking. I don’t know what’s going on. I’m just waiting. I guess they’re going to let everyone hit free agency,” Munnerlyn told The Charlotte Observer’s Joseph Person on Friday. “I don’t think they’ve talked to anybody, yet — not even Greg Hardy. That’s a shocker to me. I guess they’re going to see what the market value of people is and go from there.”
Munnerlyn has said he’d be open to a one-year deal for the right price. In the open market he will generate a lot of interest as the 11th ranked corner in the league, according to the folks over at Pro Football Focus.
