Panthers Reconstruct Austin Corbett's Contract

Some money is being moved around.

The Carolina Panthers were roughly $9 million over the salary cap entering the day. But the front office will move money around to get out of the hole and free up space to sign guys in free agency.

On Friday, the Panthers restructured starting right guard Austin Corbett's contract, clearing up approximately $6 million in cap space.

Corbett started all 17 games for the Panthers but had an unfortunate end to the season in the win over New Orleans, suffering a torn ACL. Recently, he took to Twitter to announce that his surgery was successful and is set to begin rehabbing very soon.

Successful surgery!
Appreciate all the support and love. We’ll knock this out one day at a time and be back stronger than ever.
Let the rehab begin!

*A special shoutout to the best agency in the business, taking care of me with a nice spread! Love my Rep1 Family! pic.twitter.com/AM7tqMruHR

The expectation is that Corbett will be ready for the start of the 2023 season.
