CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers have re-signed defensive end Charles Johnson.
Johnson signed a one-year contract with the Panthers. He returns to the team after being released on March 3rd.
We worked very closely with Charles and his agent in the last few days to come to an agreement and I’m appreciative of all the hard work put forth to get a deal done,” general manager Dave Gettleman. “What this deal signifies is Charles is a man of his word and in his heart he bleeds Carolina blue. The entire Panthers family is very happy that Charles will be able to continue his career here.”
“My heart was in Carolina,” Johnson said. “Once you put all that energy into it, I feel like I would have been wasting all that work had I gone somewhere else for some dollars. I’d rather be happy doing what I’m doing around people that I know, and I’m comfortable with. I can’t wait to get back to work.”
Johnson started nine games in the 2015 season. He missed seven games due to a hamstring injury and was placed on the injured reserve/designated to return list.
