The two are expected to compete in training camp for the No. 2 spot on the Panthers’ depth chart.There’s also a chance the Panthers use one of their draft picks to take a flyer on a backup quarterback if they find one they like Youth Sam Mills Jersey , so there’s no guarantee that Heinicke will even be on the roster once the regular season begins.Stay tuned to CSR as we’ll provide the contract details once they’ve been announced.
