Panthers Re-sign Scott, Martin for Next Season

0:00NFL stories making news on March 20th. The Carolina Panthers are bolstering their roster with the return of safety, Nick Scott and Punter Sam Martin. Scott signed a one-year deal worth up to $3,250,000, while Martin agreed to a two-year contract up to $5,000,000. Scott heads into his third season with the team after starting 22 of 28 games last year, where he hit a career high 100. Eleven combined tackles, plus an interception and fumble recovery. That performance earned him the fourth highest performance base pay among all NFL players. Martin wraps up his first year in Carolina with a net punting average of 40.5 yards and the ninth most punts inside the 20 yard line. At 27, these moves help solidify the secondary and special teams as the Panthers gear up for next season.
