How much salary cap space could the Carolina Panthers have in 2021?

The Carolina Panthers are up against it from a salary cap perspective in 2020. But this has the potential to be a distant memory this time next year.

Following their acquisition of free-agent cornerback Eli Apple on a one-year, $3 million deal last week. The Carolina Panthers now have just $255,000 to spend on their roster with only No. 7 overall selection Derrick Brown signed from their recent draft class.

Carolina’s decision-makers will need to get creative in order to free up the funds needed for the remainder of the offseason.
