As Cam Newton's backup, Panthers quarterback Derek Anderson doesn't get on the field much. But the former NFL starter and one-time Pro Bowler knows and likes his role in Charlotte. And the Panthers like Anderson. The 29-year-old free agent signed a 1-year contract Friday to return to Carolina for a third season. It's the third such 1-year deal the Panthers have given Anderson, who was a starter for parts of five seasons with Cleveland and Arizona. Source: Charlotte Observer
