The Carolina Panthers entered the 2025 Free Agency period with a moderate amount of cap space, about $42M by some estimates, and long, long list of needs. The NFL’s All-Time worst defense needed to be completely overhauled and Bryce Young was in need of some added talent to throw towards. Fast forward a few weeks and the defense has been upgraded from top to bottom and Young, well, could still use some more talent. That said, the Panthers have signed about $51M in new contracts in the last two weeks, just in terms of 2025 cap hits, and are still estimated to have about $15M in cap space remaining.
