I think its going to show the other players that hard work does pay off.  Teams do reward those players who are an asset.

I only became a panthers fan because I followed Cam. As a guy growing up in Alabama, pro football really is secondary. When Cam was winding down I wasn't sure I'd keep following, but Brown being here did it for me. I love the dudes that are model citizens and who's parents raised them right. Derrick Brown is the type of person who should be raised up as an example to kids. Not these guys out clubbing and acting like fools....in other words me in my 20s. Nothing wrong with being "boring" and stacking that bank balance.

I love that he said that about getting back to work. Bring the lunch pail.
