Posted by Sabrina B. @gametimegirl The Carolina Panthers continued their surprising spending spree Friday when they signed center Ryan Kalil to a six-year contract worth $49 million that will make him the highest-paid center in the NFL, according to team and league sources. Kalil was scheduled to make $10.1 million in 2011 as the team’s designated franchise player and signed a five-year extension through 2016 that was restructured to lower his salary-cap number this year, sources said.
