The Facts: Clausen, a second-round draft pick from Notre Dame, will sign a four-year contract that has a max value of $6.3 million, according to the Charlotte Observer. The key figure is the deal is worth $2.533 million guaranteed.

Diehards Line:Surely, it’s not what Clause, who did a free fall through the draft, thought he would receive when he left school with a year of eligibility remaining. But the Panthers would appear to be a good fit for him and now he can begin his NFL career. Matt Moore is projected to be the team’s starting quarterback meaning Clausen has an inexperienced veteran with just eight starts ahead of him on the depth chart. No other quarterback's on Carolina's roster have an NFL start.
