The Panthers have reached a six-year contract agreement with left tackle Travelle Wharton, a big move heading into the free agency signing period.
Wharton could have become an unrestricted free agent on Feb. 29.
His signing means the Panthers probably will have both their starting tackles back next season.
Right tackle Jordan Gross also is eligible for free agency, but the Panthers plan to put the franchise tag on him if a deal doesn't get done by Feb. 21.
Earlier Thursday, the Panthers gave safety Chris Harris a four-year contract extension.
The Panthers are also negotiating with fullback Brad Hoover, but a deal isn't done yet.
