Special Teams

Kickers, punters, and long snappers under contract: 

Graham Gano, cap hit of $3,437,500

J.J. Jansen, cap hit of $1,055,000

Michael Palardy, cap hit of $630,000

Kicker, punter and long snapper are all set for the season with Graham Gano and Michael Palardy signing new contracts this offseason. J.J. Jansen, the Panthers longtime long snapper, doesn’t hear his name very often and that’s probably a good thing.
