CHARLOTTE CROWS ADD THREE BIG SIGNGINS WITH WR GRADY ASHBY, G PETER CRUZ, AND OT ROBERT HENDON ON 1-YEAR DEALS!

The Charlotte Crows have agreed to terms with three big free agents signing WR Grady Ashby to a 1-year contract worth $12MM salary, $2.5MM in bonus, and a $3MM signing bonus.

They also added Guard Peter Cruz on a 1 year deal worth $18MM salary and a $2MM signing bonus.

Finally the Crows brought back former 10th overall pick OT Robert Hendon on a one year contract worth $20MM.

These deals help solidify a struggling Charlotte roster while giving the players the opportunity to again explore free agency next season when it is believed that the salary cap will receive an increase.
