The Panthers have looked at a number of safeties in recent days, and have finally settled on one.

Or gotten one to settle for what they’re offering.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Panthers are signing safety Stevie Brown.

They’ve looked at a number of veteran options, including Donte Whitner and Major Wright. But they also had an immediate need, since four of their seven safeties are some degree of injured and they’ve got a game to play tomorrow night.

Brown had a great 2012 with the Giants (when Panthers General Manager Dave Gettleman was working there), but has bounced around considerably since. He was cut by the Chiefs last week.
