The search for new talent on the Carolina Panthers roster begins with free agency. The franchise is well-positioned for success in 2026 after making the playoffs for the first time in eight years this past season, and hopes to continue this trend for years to come.
To do that, general manager Dan Morgan has slightly shifted his offseason approach.
Contract incentives and salary cap adjustments have the Panthers sitting in the middle of the pack in cap space, but just under the line. Moves will be made in the coming hours or days to free up money for free agency, but Morgan wants to be aggressive, especially at linebacker and pass rusher.
