Mike Tolbert is a unique backfield asset since he can function as a fullback, tailback and pass-catching threat. It's no wonder the Carolina Panthers didn't want him to get away in free agency this offseason.
Bryan Strickland of Panthers.com reported Tolbert signed a two-year contract with the team prior to the official start of free agency. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the agreement is for two years and worth a max of $4 million.
"I had some other places to go, but this is home for me. I'm excited to be back," Tolbert told Strickland before speaking on the team's Super Bowl hopes. "We have the team to do it. That's the main reason why I came back.

"We're going to rebound and try to make another run at it."
