The Carolina Panthers have had a tumultuous offseason full of movement, so it’s worth taking a look at how each position group has shaken out…

As with any offseason, the Carolina Panthers have seen both losses and gains on either side of the football. With the NFL Draft fast approaching, it’s a safe bet that general manager Marty Hurney is targeting players on both offense and defense in order to keep Carolina competitive moving forward.

During his previous tenure in the same position, Hurney’s handling of the team finances created some unfavorable outcomes. Already this year, he has taken steps to not become the victim of a similar situation, allowing starting linemen Andrew Norwell and Star Lotulelei to walk.

Following a prior review of the offense, let’s finish out a pre-NFL Draft review of the financial situation for the Panthers defense and special teams.
