List of Carolina Panthers Who Are Set to be Free Agents
Now that the 2021 season is officially over for the Carolina Panthers, they turn their focus to evaluating each of the 53 players on the active roster and those on the practice squad to begin shaping their roster for 2022.
Every year attrition happens in the NFL, there's no way to escape it. Players are always going to be on the move in search of more playing time, more money, or perhaps a better chance at a Super Bowl. Then there will also be several who the Panthers don't feel like are the right fit for what they are trying to do moving forward and allow them to walk in free agency or just outright release them.
This offseason, the Panthers have 22 unrestricted free agents.
