The Carolina Panthers have been posturing up for impactful roster moves all offseason. They continued to do so early Saturday afternoon, with yet another reworked deal.
After right tackle Taylor Moton and linebacker Shaq Thompson came to new terms, it was offensive lineman Pat Elflein’s turn to restructure his contract. As first reported by ESPN’s Field Yates, the Panthers opened up a little over $2.4 million more by converting $4.8 million of Elflein’s 2022 take into a signing bonus.
The Panthers converted $4.865M of OL Pat Elflein's 2022 compensation into a signing bonus, creating $2,432,500 in 2022 cap space, per source.
Carolina continues to create cap space for this season, as they are now closing in on $30M to spend, with avenues to add even more.
