    Free agent big man Al Jefferson is headed to the Charlotte Bobcats, according to sources close to the process.

    Sources told ESPN.com that the Utah Jazz center, after a two-day visit with the Bobcats, has verbally agreed to a three-year contract with Charlotte worth an estimated $41 million.

    The deal contains a player option in Jefferson's contract after the second year, sources said.

    Jefferson can't formally sign the contract until July 10, the first day teams and free agents can make deals official after the league's annual moratorium is lifted.

    The Bobcats will release Tyrus Thomas this month via the one-time amnesty clause to create the needed salary-cap space to sign Jefferson, according to TNT.

    Nice move for Charlotte. Jefferson, Zeller, Biyombo, and Mullens down low. Now they can focus on 2 Guard
