CHARLOTTE, N.C. — (AP) — The Carolina Panthers have agreed to terms Thursday with free-agent cornerback Eli Apple.
The move gives the Panthers the experienced cornerback they coveted after James Bradberry signed as a free agent with the Giants.

Apple has started 48 games during four seasons in the NFL and has 233 tackles, three interceptions and three forced fumbles but has never lived up to the hype of being the 10th overall selection in the 2016 draft out of Ohio State.
The Panthers also spent two picks in April’s NFL draft on cornerbacks. They took Troy Pride Jr. in the fourth round and Stantley Thomas-Oliver III in the seventh round.
