Former Hawkeye Godfrey to Carolina
07/22/2008
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - The Carolina Panthers signed third-round
draft pick and former Iowa Hawkeye Charles Godfrey and
seventh-rounder Geoff Schwartz, leaving them with only two unsigned
draft choices.
Terms of Monday's deals were not available.
The only remaining draftees the Panthers have not yet signed are
first-rounders Jonathan Stewart and Jeff Otah.
Godfrey, a cornerback at Iowa, has been playing free safety
since minicamp. He had 193 tackles in 47 games, intercepting seven
passes for the Hawkeyes.
Schwartz started 36 of 41 games at offensive tackle for Oregon,
where he opened holes for Stewart and helped the Ducks lead the
Pac-10 in rushing.
The Panthers also waived tight end Chad Upshaw. He was claimed
off waivers from Denver in April.
