Here’s your one-stop-shop outlining in plain terms where the Panthers roster currently stands as they prepare for free agency to begin on March 17 followed by the draft on April 29.
Shown below is my interpretation of the 2021 depth chart listing only the key offensive players who are currently under contract or the team has the clear path to retain them through restricted free agency. Unrestricted free agents are excluded. Fringe players who likely won’t be competing for meaningful playing time aren’t included either, unless they play a position of significant need like tight end or center.
