Kawaan was owed just north of 12 million dollars this season and by releasing him, the Panthers are saving right around 9 million dollars.

After signing his large deal in 2018 when he was selected to his second pro bowl, Kawaan has only played 5 games in the past two seasons dealing with season ending lower body injuries.
