CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers on Tuesday signed two-time Pro Bowl selection Michael Griffin to a one-year deal to add depth at safety.
Carolina also signed defensive tackle Kyle Love, who was with the team the past two seasons, with first-round pick Vernon Butler expected to miss at least the next two games with a high ankle sprain.
To make room for the additions, the Panthers released safety Marcus Ball and placed defensive end Ryan Delaire on injured reserve with a knee injury.
