With a ton of focus under and around center for the Carolina Panthers, their defense’s alarmingly thin linebacking corp has gone a bit overlooked. But what’s most important is that the team itself hasn’t overlooked the spot this offseason.
As announced by the team on Sunday night, they’ve agreed to terms on a one-year deal with linebacker Cory Littleton. Along with Damien Wilson earlier in the week, Littleton is now the second backer to sign on in Carolina out of free agency.
