In their latest effort to secure a proven, complementary pass catcher to pair with star wide receiver Steve Smith, the Carolina Panthers have turned to a familiar face, making significant progress toward reaching a contract agreement with veteran free agent Muhsin Muhammad.

Released by the Bears last week, Muhammad played the first nine seasons of his career (1996-2004) with the Panthers before signing with Chicago in 2005. After his release, the 12-year veteran generated interest from four teams, but quickly focused on rejoining the Panthers, given his familiarity with the franchise and the fact he still owns a home in the Charlotte area.
