How much salary cap space do the Panthers have after Tre Boston's release?
The Carolina Panthers have a little over three months before the 2021 NFL season begins. After bringing in a bunch of low-cost free agents and a large draft class, their roster is for the most part set for the year. However, there are still a few holes to fill and a number of interesting free agents out there who could help. The release of free safety Tre Boston became official on June 1, which freed up another $3.5 million. That brings the teams current cap space to $17,595,178, according to Over the Cap. That number is frequently fluid, especially at this time of year when there are still some draft picks that have yet to be signed. At the top of that list is cornerback Jaycee Horn, who should help turn around the teams considerable issues in man coverage. We can guess roughly how much hell cost based on the prospects that sandwiched him. The No. 7 overall pick Penei Sewell signed a four-year, $24.1 million deal with the Lions, while No. 9 pick Patrick Surtain went for four years and $20.9 million for the Broncos. Horns salary should be somewhere in the middle between those two. The Panthers also still have to sign wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr., guard/offensive tackle Brady Christensen and tight end Tommy Tremble.
