Panthers acquire Seahawks WR Norwood for 2017 draft pick
Aug 31, 2015 - 8:44 PM CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) The Carolina Panthers have acquired wide receiver Kevin Norwood in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for an undisclosed 2017 draft choice.Carolina has been searching for answers at wide receiver ever since Kelvin Benjamin went down with a season-ending injury.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Norwood was a fourth-round draft choice by the Seahawks in 2014. He played nine games with two starts as a rookie, catching nine passes for 102 yards.
Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman said in a press release Monday that Norwood ''has the size you look for along with toughness and smarts.''
Gettleman said the Panthers had studied Norwood leading up to last year's draft.
