3RD ROUNDER DJ JOHNSON -- AGREED TO TERMS - Hobbit99 - 05-10-2023
As long as we're tracking all of these guys.....
Panthers 2023 3rd round pick DJ Johnson has agreed to terms with the Panthers on a 4 yr. contract.
PANTHERS.COM: Panthers And DJ Johnson Agree To Terms
CHARLOTTE – Carolina has finalized a deal with their rookie outside linebacker, agreeing to terms with third-round selection DJ Johnson.
The Oregon product agreed to terms on a four-year rookie contract Wednesday.
At 6-foot-4 and 260 pounds, Johnson was drafted to help fill a need opposite two-time Pro Bowler Brian Burns in defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero's new 3-4 base defense. He'll also join Yetur Gross-Matos, Marquis Haynes Sr., and Amaré Barno at the position.
He spent six years in college football, playing in 43 games as an edge rusher and tight end. He spent his final year with the Ducks as a full-time outside linebacker, putting up 39 tackles with 8.5 tackles for loss, 6.0 sacks, one fumble recovery, one quarterback hit, and two pass breakups in his last season.
The Panthers traded up with the Steelers from the 93rd overall spot in the third round of this year's draft to take Johnson with the 80th pick. They gave up a late fourth-rounder (No. 132) to get there.
Johnson is Carolina's third draft pick to agree to terms on his rookie contract, following safety Jammie Robinson and guard Chandler Zavala.

You know, a little off-topic (not really), but I'm seriously still waiting for Yetur to make a name for himself. Perhaps he will this year in our new 3-4 Defense.

Yeuter baffles me. I see him as a 5 (3-4 de). Team leaning olb. I hope he can stand up, but from de he’s moved in on passing downs. Maybe he’s a 3-4 end sub. He’s big. Kinda quick. Hope he figures it out. Just set a solid edge. Both edge guys!

DJ Johnson is sort of an enigma to me. Who knows what the Panthers have in mind for him.??
I fully expect to see a LOT of Amare Barno opposite Burns. Big and Fast. Taylor-made as an OLB in a 3-4. (IMHO..)
