Carolina Panthers Free Agency Tracker

The Carolina Panthers are at the dawn of a new age. The team has cleared house by firing long time head coach Ron Rivera, will reportedly release Cam Newton and are allowing several other key free agents to walk this offseason.

Carolina’s second-year owner David Tepper has taken an initiative to start fresh and build this team from the ground up. Tepper and Panthers general manager Marty Hurney hired Matt Rhule as their new head coach to captain the team’s ship as they embark on a new era. "Look at Rhule’s history," Tepper said. "He constructed winning programs at Temple and Baylor and he will build an elite program here."

As Tepper said to in a letter to Panthers’ season ticket holders in late February, "It takes time to build things up the right way, and sometimes you have to do a little tearing down before moving forward.” Carolina’s recent offseason moves have reflected that sentiment.

The Panthers must be quite conservative this offseason as they are strapped with the NFL’s largest amount of dead money at north of $46 million. For the most part, the team has largely made offers to younger plays on inexpensive ‘prove it’ deals that a rebuilding team like themselves can afford to gamble on.

Here is a free agency tracker to keep Panthers fans updated with the latest moves the team has made this offseason from free agency signs, departures, and Panthers free agents who have yet to ink a deal.
