2026 Panthers Salary Cap

[CMAC22]

I know its far out til now but what is the Carolina Panthers Projected 2026 Salary Cap and Salary Cap Space we have available as of today? What are some moves we can make with the current roster that we can free up more Space with extensions, releases, etc with current players to keep building this team going forward? #KeepPounding

Cutting Bryce frees up 100 mil in cap space and everyone gets a puppy

We're projected to have around $40M in cap space, around middle of the pack in the league.

Front office has done a good job with what they inherited to get us there. That’s more than I expected we’d have with our OL, DBrown, and Horn costs

QB on a rookie contract is a massive salary cap advantage.

Dan did good last year. His one mistake was the Turk Wharton FA signing. He’s a non factor out there, and his contract is abysmal

Yea something has to shake with Wharton. We signed this guy to a 3 year 45 million dollar contract, 30 mil of which is fully guaranteed. 

This may end up being Dan's biggest misfire. And from what I've seen so far ...any Evero input on personnel (except safeties)should quickly be disregarded as well, especially draft input. 

I think we're mid league w/ 2026 salary cap numbers but our trajectory could attract more/better FA's this offseason.

have they though, a rookie contract qb seems to tilt the scale, they have most certainly made blunders

Yep, so lets get another one and not extend the current one.

Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.

if you look at what was inherited with the dead cap 1/2 years out, yes absolutely.
