2. Cut Dontari Poe and Mike Davis
The Panthers have already declined the 2020 option for wide receiver Jarius Wright, which will save the team $3 million in cap room this year. That’s a good start, but they’ll have to create more if they’re going to make any real splashes in free agency. The next two to go should be defensive tackle Dontari Poe and running back Mike Davis. Declining their options will save the team a total of about $12.8 million.
