Quick Glance: Panthers Secure Derrick Brown as One of NFL's Highest-Paid Defensive Tackles with Four-Year, $96 Million Extension

The Carolina Panthers have agreed to extend star defensive tackle Derrick Brown for four years and $96 million, with $63.165 million guaranteed. This makes him one of the highest-paid defensive tackles in the NFL.

Originally planning to play the final year of his rookie contract, Brown is now tied to the Panthers until the 2028 season. Drafted by the Panthers at seventh overall in the 2020 NFL Draft from Auburn, he ended the 2023 season with 103 tackles, a league record for a defensive lineman.

With his elite skill, new contract, and the Panthers trading away Brian Burns earlier this year, Brown is now the face of the franchise's defense and will lead them into the next phase of his tenure.

The Panthers, who finished last season with a 2-15 record, have made savvy moves this offseason, including securing Brown as a key player in the defense, to put themselves in a more respectable position.

Quick Glance: Wave of Pro-Palestinian Protests Blocks Bridges in the U.S.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators blocked roads, highways, and bridges across the country on Monday, causing traffic disruptions and arrests. Some activists viewed this as a coordinated day of economic protest against the Israel-Gaza war.

The protests spanned the nation from San Francisco to New York, where demonstrators blocked traffic and held rallies. Similar actions were reported in Philadelphia, Chicago, Miami, and San Antonio.

The demonstrations began in the morning in various cities and had been dispersed by Monday evening by authorities. There were dozens of arrests, but no significant violence was reported.

Protesters called for an end to arms exports to the region and criticized the humanitarian situation in besieged Gaza, highlighting the disproportionate impact on women and children. The U.S. has been a major supporter of Israel since World War II.
