Where does the Panthers 2025 cap space stand?

Update 3/13:

We still don’t have the full picture. Over The Cap has the Panthers at $35M in space, but doesn’t reflect the numbers for Jones II, Moehrig, Rozeboom, Dowdle, Jackson I, Chisena, or Thielen. Depending on contract structures and further cuts/restructures, the Panthers could have anywhere between $5M and $25M left in space.

Basically, they can still do just about anything they want. We just have to wait and see the balance of what that is and what players are willing to agree to.

There are also still highly unsubstantiated rumors flying around of Carolina being involved in trades for any number of high end, exciting players. Carry a large rock of salt with you...
