Quarterbacks under contract (all cap hit information from Spotrac):
Cam Newton, cap hit of $21,500,000
Garrett Gilbert, cap hit of $555,000
The starting quarterback position is obviously set with Cam Newton on what is now a bargain contract. With Derek Anderson still unsigned and likely gone for good as the backup quarterback, the Panthers are likely to draft a quarterback late in the draft, with Garrett Gilbert or an available free agent like Colin Kaepernick still options as well. Gilbert is a project the Panthers brought on from the practice squad during last season, likely to keep him from snatched up by other teams.
