Panthers declare NFL’s 2nd-highest amount of unused cap space for 2022

The Panthers have declared approximately $10.7 million in unused cap space, the second-highest amount from the 2022 season.

The Carolina Panthers may have the most desirable head-coaching vacancy in the NFL at the moment, and part of that appeal comes in the resources.
