The Carolina Panthers are continuing to build from the inside out.
As first reported by Bleacher Report NFL insider Jordan Schultz on Monday night, guard Damien Lewis is planning to sign with the Panthers. The deal, per Schultz, is worth $53 million over four years.
A national champion on the 2019 Louisiana State University squad, Lewis was selected in the third round of the 2020 draft by the Seattle Seahawks. Lewis has started in each of the 61 games he’s played since, with the majority of his snaps coming from the left guard position.
The 6-foot-3, 332-pounder crossed paths with new Panthers head coach Dave Canales during his time in Seattle, when Canales served as the passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Lewis, who turns 27 years old on March 21, is now the second interior offensive lineman Carolina has reportedly come to terms with today. He joins right guard Robert Hunt, who is expected to ink a five-year, $100 million pact.
