In the span of 24 hours, David Tepper and the Panthers aggressively cleared cap space, according to ESPN's David Newton. And rumor has it that the franchise is gearing up to make a run for Deshaun Watson.
Carolina released three players Friday, increasing its cap space to $28.5 million. Defensive end Stephen Weatherly, safety Tre Boston and punter Michael Palardy were all cut just days after the franchise released Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kawann Short earlier in the week.
According to ESPN, Boston's release won't be official until the league year starts on March 17 and includes a post-June 1 designation.
