"The big thing that we have to do is continue to evaluate the situation and circumstances. We've only really gone through about three and a half, four weeks of training camp, so to rush into a decision I think wo |

| Charlotte, NC (MySportsbook) - The Carolina Panthers signed Pro Bowl center Ryan Kalil to a five-year extension on Friday. Kalil, who was slapped with the Panthers' franchise tag in February, has agreed to a contract that will make him the highest-paid center in NFL history, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

| Spartanburg, SC (MySportsbook) - No. 1 draft pick Cam Newton will get his first start at quarterback for the Carolina Panthers in Friday's preseason game against Miami. Panthers head coach Ron Rivera announced his decision after Wednesday's practice, saying it was the plan all along to rotate starts among the team's quarterbacks during the preseason.

That's not a big surprise considering Clausen has been getting all of the reps with the first-team offense. Clausen said Friday morning that Rivera ``told both me and Cam that he's going to play the best guy out |
