The numbers add up to $31.5 million, and Scout.com makes the assumption that the rest of the money comes from signing bonuses and incentives. $15.5 million is guaranteed.
The report also has Ken Lucas' and Justin Griffith's contract details along with free-agent rookie details.
Cornerback Ken Lucas is signed for one year at $2.3 million dollars.
Fullback Justin Griffith is signed for one year at $620,000. Griffith likely received a signing bonus of $50,000, which would qualify for the "Minimum Salary Benefit," meaning his cap charge would be just $460,000.
Hackett headed to Baltimore
The Ravens need receivers and they're bringing former oft-injured Seahawk D.J. Hackett.
Hackett was a free agent last offseason but GM Tim Ruskell didn't pursue him. Hackett landed with the Panthers where he suffered a couple injuries. He was released this offseason.
The Panthers are also bringing in former Jaguar Jerry Porter, among others.
