Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown is signing a multi-year contract extension with the team.
On Friday, the Panthers announced the news on their website.
Brown, 25, is signing a four-year extension worth up to $96 million, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Brown's extension includes $63.135 million guaranteed, an unnamed source told Schefter.
The $24 million per-year average for Brown is behind Kansas City's Chris Jones, Las Vegas' Christian Wilkins and Baltimore's Justin Madubuike.
Brown is under contract with the Panthers through the 2028 season.
In the 2023 season, Brown had 103 tackles, the most for a defensive lineman in NFL history.
Last season, Brown had two sacks, seven tackles for a loss, six pass deflections and an interception.
