Panthers Sign More Rookies

June 29, 2009

After signing rookie Captain Munnerlyn to a contract last week, the Carolina Panthers have added more numbers to the team’s roster, signing its pair of fourth-round draft picks, Mike Goodson and Tony Fiammetta, to four-year deals on Friday. Goodson, a rookie running back out of Texas A&M, was added to the team to add depth behind DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, while Tony Fiammetta is a former Syracuse player who will compete with Brad Hoover for the team’s starting position at fullback.

While Goodson, Fiammetta and Munnerlyn have all been signed, two more players were waived during this deal: Patrick MacDonald, a long snapper out of Alberta who’s played for the NFL’s New Orleans Saints and CFL’s Calgary Stampeders in the past; and defensive tackle Babatunde Oshinowo, a former player at Stanford who has also made stints with the Cleveland Browns, Chicago Bears, Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles since his inception into the NFL in 2006.

Now that three rookies have been signed to contracts and several more players have been waived in the weeks leading up to training camp, the Carolina Panthers have just four picks from 2009 NFL Draft that have yet to be signed.
