CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Former Jacksonville Jaguars safety Alan Ball still hasn't signed with theCarolina Panthers and isn't expected to on Friday, but negotiations continue.

Ball was in Charlotte on Thursday night meeting with team officials. A league source told ESPN.com on Thursday an agreement on a one-year deal with Carolina had been reached prior to his arrival.

 

The same source said on Friday that "a lot" was worked out in terms of negotiations before Ball left town, but not to the point the 29-year-old player was ready to sign. At least one other team has entered the picture regarding interest in Ball.

On Thursday a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Caplan that the Panthers and Ball reached agreement on a $2 million deal, including a $1 million signing bonus and up to $500,000 in playing-time incentives. The deal was reported earlier Thursday by Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post.

The Panthers have sought to upgrade their secondary in free agency, signing cornerback Teddy Williams and safety Kurt Coleman. Williams was signed primarily as a special-teams player.

Well, that agent is earning his 3%. Leaked the deal and got another team interested for probably more money.

Eh fug that JAG

This guy is acting like he is a damn Revis type of corner.

Take your 2 million and be glad you're playing on a team that may have a chance at reaching the superb owl

I enjoy his shows Six Feet Under and Banshee.'

 

True Blood was OK at the beginning then got really really stupid. 

 

You really made a lot of people's day!

Usually when a potential free agent leaves after being given a fair offer, it doesn't turn out well,let's hope this time is the exception.

[uncfan888]

This may be his last contract... Don't blame him for getting as much as he can

It's a one year deal, and his stats aren't really that bad.. I doubt it would be his last contract

He is human and is allowed to try to do what is best for him. He is up in age for an NFL player so you reallu can't blame him for trying to get a little more

[stirs]

pull the offer

It may not be his last contract, but it's one of the last few big pay checks he will receive. He's only got a few years left to make the money he will need for the rest of his life. Absolutely don't blame a guy in his position for trying to get as much money as possible. If it's a star player quibbling over a few hundred thousand when he's made $80M already then sure criticize him, but Ball should be trying to get as much money as he possibly can while he still can. One injury and his career could be over at his age and skill level.

[CatalystNX]

We'll probably end up signing him eventually.

[teeray]

This sounds like his agent fishing the offer to try and get more money.

He ain't worth sweating over. If we get him great if not we will be fine
