Panthers Free Up Notable Salary Cap Space
                
        
        The Carolina Panthers released Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kawann Short on Wednesday and defensive end Stephen Weatherly, safety Tre Boston and punter Michael Palardy on Friday, clearing $19.9 million in salary cap space this week. The moves improved the team's cap space to $28.473 million heading into the start of free agency next month. Carolina's cap space was around $8.5 million after the 2020 season, but they cleared $8.66 million with the release of Short, $5.906 million with Weatherly, $3.55 million with Boston and $1.787 million with Palardy. Even before Boston's release, the Panthers led the NFL with $22.6 million in dead money. It's big for a team looking to upgrade at quarterback -- they made an offer for Matthew Stafford and plan to make a strong run at Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson if they grant his wish and trade him.
