With the calendar turning to July, some late-round draft pick should start trickling in here in the next couple of weeks.

   The closest to signing at this point is sixth-round draft pick Nick Hayden, a defensive tackle from Wisconsin. The three seventh-rounders should follow as their deals aren't really all that complicated. Basically, all will receive the minimum base salaries over the next three seasons, which leaves their agents to haggle with the Panthers over a few thousand dollars differences in signing bonuses. But basically they are all locked into to a certain pay scale based on what the player ahead and behind him gets.

   --Also, a limited number of single-game tickets to each of the Carolina Panthers 10 home games for the 2008 season will go on sale Saturday, July 26 at 10:00 a.m. Ticket prices range from $51 to $90, and purchase restrictions apply. Tickets can be purchased one of three ways on July 26: online at www.ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster Charge-By-Phone and Ticketmaster Ticket Centers. You can guarantee your seats for each home game without the hassle of buying single-game tickets each year through the purchase of a Permanent Seat License (PSL).
