Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk reports that former Cardinals CB Antoine Cason has signed a one-year contract with the Panthers.
Cason, 27, was relegated to a very limited role last season for the Cardinals, playing only 169 snaps total and grading out negatively according to ProFootball Focus. Cason was viewed last offseason as a viable player to man the slot corner role, however, he fell out of favor with DB Tyrann Mathieu excelling at both the slot corner and safety last season.
Cason is likely a depth signing for the Panthers who will compete for playing time as no more than the No. 3 corner.
