Panthers Signing S Juston Burris To Two-Year, $8M Deal

Adam Schefter reports that the Panthers are signing S Juston Burris to a two-year, $8 million contract on Monday.

Burris, 26, is a former fourth-round pick of the Jets back in 2016 out of NC State. He was in the third year of his four-year, $2.89 million contract when the Jets waived in October of 2018. 

The Jets re-signed Burris to their practice squad after he cleared waivers but was signed by the Browns off their taxi squad after a week. Cleveland elected to decline to tender a qualifying offer to Burris last year, but later re-signed him to a one-year, $645,000 deal.

In 2019, Burris appeared in 14 games for the Browns and recorded 32 tackles, one sack, two interceptions, a forced fumble and seven pass defenses.
