Munnerlyn was refreshingly straightforward about his reason to return to Carolina.
Captain Munnerlyn: "They gave me $7 million in the first year. I couldn't beat that.'' $6 mill signing bonus, $1 million base.

Carolina reportedly signed Munnerlyn to a 4-year, $21-million deal with $10.5 million guaranteed. After playing at South Carolina from 2006-08, the Mobile, Ala. native was drafted by the Panthers in the seventh round of the 2009 NFL Draft, and played in Charlotte through the 2013 season.
Munnerlyn made 55 combined tackles and 3 interceptions last season with the Vikings.
