3 primary Carolina Panthers candidates for contract restructures in 2023
By Dean Jones
Which Carolina Panthers players could be primary candidates for contract restructures to ease the team’s financial burden in 2023?
The Carolina Panthers have some needs to fill and not a lot of available funds heading into the 2023 off-season. According to Spotrac, the team is currently $9.56 million over the cap, which means some difficult decisions await those in power before free agency arrives.
Some players will likely be released early from their deals. This could save the Panthers a significant amount to give Frank Reich high-quality additions for his debut season as Carolina’s head coach.
Other more established individuals could work out a way to kick their financial can down the road. This is rapidly becoming an ongoing trend around the league and something the Panthers should also utilize when the time comes.
With this in mind, here are three Panthers players that are primary candidates for contract restructures in 2023.
Player No. 1
Taylor Moton – Carolina Panthers OT
- Cap savings – $11.14 million
Taylor Moton‘s increasing influence on and off the field cannot be disputed. However, it’s worth the Carolina Panthers getting his $24.54 million salary cap hit down next season if they want to attain some financial flexibility.
Restructuring Moton’s deal saves the Panthers around $11.14 million according to Over the Cap. Something which could allow them to bring in new faces of perhaps extend players like Bradley Bozeman and D’Onta Foreman if the price is right.
