The Panthers cleared the hood this week by freeing players from the roster.
Field Yates of ESPN reports that the team convert the majority of center Matt Paradis’ 2021 salary in a sign-up bonus. They converted $ 7.04 million from the $ 8.03 million salary, creating just under $ 4.7 million for the team this season.
Paradise is on its way to its third season with the Panthers. He started every game in his first two seasons.
The release of safety Tre Boston, defensive tackle Kawann Short, defensive end Stephen Weatherly, and punter Michael Palardy cleared about $ 20 million in the hood and left the team with more than $ 28 million in the room. The restructuring of Paradise adds even more, and it is believed that the team wants to run on Texans full-back Deshaun Watson.
