CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Panthers have agreed to a two-year contract extension with backup linebacker Frankie Luvu.
The 25-year-old Luvu was a key player on special teams for the Panthers last season, finishing tied for second on the team in tackles with a forced fumble and a blocked punt.
On defense he had eight tackles for loss, 1 1/2 sacks along with a forced fumble and fumble recovery.
Luvu was scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent.
The Panthers also re-signed veteran long snapper J.J. Jansen, the team’s longest-tenured player.
