What is the story about?
The legal tampering window opens in just an hour. There’s no smoke yet, but we do expect the Panthers to start rubbing sticks together as soon as they can. That means agreeing to terms, restructuring contracts, and altogether shoring up roster holes ahead of next month’s NFL Draft. Keep your eyes here for all the news as it happens.

Where does the Panthers 2026 cap space stand?
The Panthers have $7.3M in cap space available per Spotrac and about $9M per Over The Cap. The difference of about $1.5M there isn’t significant. Carolina is going
to need to make some moves this week with their larger contracts if they want to be at all active in free agency.
