The Facts: The Panthers have signed Johnson to a contract.
Diehards Line:Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports it is a one-year deal worth $2.2 million. The former Viking caught 20 passes for 232 yards last year, which was a slight uptick from a nine-catch season in 2015 but remained down from a promising 2014 campaign in Minnesota. He’s the second wide receiver to sign with the Panthers on Friday. They added former Buccaneer Russell Shepard as well.
