Report: Panthers to sign center Matt Paradis to 3-year, $27M deal

The Carolina Panthers intend to sign former Denver Broncos center Matt Paradis to a three-year, $27 million contract, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Paradis will receive $13.5 million guaranteed, according to NFL.com's Tom Pelissero.

The 29-year-old will replace Ryan Kalil at center. Kalil retired after the 2018 season.

Paradis has spent his entire career with the Broncos. He started nine games in 2018, and Pro Football Focus graded him as the league's second-best center. He missed the final seven games of the season due to a lower leg injury.
