Panthers Down to 14 million in Salary Cap Space, and It's Really Less Than That!

The Panthers spending money is getting short. Re-signing Mario Addison, Charles Johnson, and adding guys like Matt Kalil, Julius Peppers, and Captain Munnerlyn has consumed much of Carolina's cap space. Now down to $14.3m dollars in cap space. This isn't all spendable cash, however. $9m of this needs to be allocated for signing rookies, practice squad members, and potential additions throughout the season.

There's still an opportunity to free up some space. We'll likely see some space cleared up as Carolina refines its roster more and more. Right now, Carolina only has about $5m in liquid cash to spend. Good thing Gettleman knows how to shop at the Dollar Store. This is when he's at his best actually.

Should the Panthers Bring Back DeAngelo Williams?

There have been few players that have become synonymous with Carolina Panthers football more so than DeAngelo Williams. Williams is the career leader in almost every rushing category for the Panthers, he is 3rd in career touchdowns, he is 1st in 100 yard rushing games, and the top receiving running back in yards and receptions. But as great as he has been over the course of his career, his production has diminished significantly.

We are at a crossroads with Williams. According to overthecap.com, the cap hit for Dengelo next season is $6.6 million. That is a very big number for a running back that rushed for 219 yards, had an average yards per carry of 3.5 yards, and scored 0 touchdowns. So will DeAngelo Williams be willing to take a pay cut and to take a reduced role or is it time to part ways with Williams?
