The Panthers have signed fourth-round pick Eric Norwood, whom Carolina expects be a pass-rushing specialist.

Norwood is South Carolina's career leader with 29 sacks. Coach John Fox has said he'll use Norwood at linebacker in passing situations and on special teams.

Wednesday's signing puts seven of Carolina's 10 draft picks under contract. Second-rounder Jimmy Clausen and third-round selections Brandon LaFell and Armanti Edwards remain unsigned.

The Panthers report to training camp on July 28.
