It remains to be seen whether there is a gem in the list of college free agents announced Monday by the Panthers.

It's a long way from something called Plan B free agency, the late 1980s version of the system that allowed a team to protect a certain number of players on its roster, leaving the rest as fair game for other teams.

Cornerback Captain Munnerlyn has been awarded the Tom Berry Good Guy award, the Professional Football Writers Association of America announced Thursday.

The Series: With the 49-35 victory, Detroit ended a four-game losing streak against Carolina, who leads the all-time series 4-2. The Panthers finished the year with an 0-4 mark against NFC North opponents and have an all-time record of 14-19 versus teams from the NFC North.
