Defensive tackle

Dontari Poe was certainly having a good season before landing on injured reserve, but he is a potential cap casualty in 2020. The Panthers can save almost $10 million in cap space by releasing Poe next offseason. Even if they don’t, he is a free agent after 2020 and the Panthers will need to get younger up the middle since Vernon Butler is the only tackle currently on the roster who is still in his prime.
