SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — No. 1 draft pick Cam Newton has signed with the Carolina Panthers and has arrived at camp.

The team said Friday evening that Newton had signed and was attending team meetings. According to several media reports, Newton has agreed to a four-year, $22 million deal.

The office for Newton's agent, Bus Cook, would not comment on terms of the deal.

Newton was seen Friday evening driving into the back lot of the Richardson Physical Activities Building and entering the offices that serve as team headquarters for Carolina's training camp at Wofford College.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera had said earlier Friday that he expected the former Auburn quarterback to be at Wofford when Carolina held its first practice session on Saturday.
