The Panthers have reached a deal with their second-round pick.
The club said Thursday it had signed defensive end Kony Ealy, the No. 60 overall selection. As with all players selected after Round One, Ealy received a four-year contract that will expire after the 2017 season.
The 6-foot-4, 275-pound Ealy notched 43 tackles and 9.5 sacks in 2013 for Missouri. At the least, the 22-year-old defensive lineman figures to see snaps behind starting ends Greg Hardy and Charles Johnson.
With Ealy’s pact, wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin (first round) and offensive guard Trai Turner (third round) are the Panthers’ lone unsigned picks.
