The Carolina Panthers have plenty of players who have their contracts up for renewal in 2021. This is down in no small part to their salary cap predicament this offseason, which has left the franchise with no other option other than to hand out short-term deals to players.
It has also restricted the Carolina Panthers from offering players on the penultimate year of their deals a longer-term commitment. This is a situation that will change considerably next year. And the organization could have as much as $90 million to utilize if they make the necessary cuts.
