The Carolina Panthers are bringing back cornerback Captain Munnerlyn for the 2017 season. Fox Sports' Peter Schrager reported the two sides agreed to a four-year deal. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport first reported the two sides had reached an agreement.
Munnerlyn entered the league in 2009 as a seventh-round pick out of South Carolina, but he has outplayed his draft positioning. He was a member of the Panthers from 2009-13 and the Minnesota Vikings from 2014-16.
The Vikings largely used him as a nickel cornerback and as someone who could defend receivers in the slot, and Kyle Ratke of USA Today's Vikings Wire wrote Munnerlyn previously said he wanted to return to Minnesota for the 2017 campaign.
