The ink hasn’t even dried on D’Onta Foreman’s new contract with the Carolina Panthers and . . . hey, wait!
There is no ink. And no there is no contract. Deals can’t even be made official until 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
Nonetheless, that seemingly hasn’t stopped the soon-to-be Panthers running back from getting to work right away.
Foreman, who is expected to sign a one-year, $2 million deal with Carolina out of free agency, just so happened to be a teammate of the quarterback the organization just so happens to be in an all-out pursuit for. So, he tried earning some of that $2 million on Tuesday night:

The University of Texas product broke into the NFL alongside Deshaun Watson as part of Houston’s 2017 draft class. Watson was plucked off the board at the 12th overall spot, with Foreman getting picked up two rounds later at No. 89.
Their time together, however, was short-lived—as the big rusher was waived by the Texans prior to the start of the 2019 season. Apparently, Foreman wants a little more time with his old quarterback.
