The Panthers continued to work with the numbers Monday, restructuring another deal for a veteran to create some more salary cap flexibility.

The team restructured the contract of linebacker Shaq Thompson, clearing some more space under the cap for next year.

We are freeing up space for all of the dead money we will have for the final 5 years of Rhule's contract after we fire him.

Thankfully it doesn't work like that.  But I'm with you on it not making any sense. I suspect they are pushing the cap hits down the road for some unknown reason. Whatever it is will probably not work out.

That always works out so well.  Especially for a bottom dwelling teams like the Panthers.

Another restructuring for Rhule and fitterer to try and save face in 2022 while throwing away cap in future years when we actually need it and may be competitive. Why open up money for a team in 2022 isn't going to the SB...... I get why other teams pulled this when they are inside a competitive window, but we are far from that.

Why? Something is getting ready to go down. 

Because he was about to count as 18M for the 2022 season after costing 10/7/8 the three prior years, IF he had been released it would have created 6M in cap. 

*Rounded numbers above for simplicity*

Details here on his cap hit prior to this announcement -- https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/shaq-thompson-16749/

It'll be interesting to see the results of this.
