Carolina Panthers Now Know What Kind Of Money They Have.

We knew the salary cap was going to rise about $10 million heading into the 2017 off season. We now know what the actual number should look like and where the Panthers fall on that list.

NFL salary cap officially set today at $167 million per team, per source. Gentlemen, start your checkbooks.

This puts the Panthers at $36,588,761 (15th) under the cap according to OverTheCap.com.

Some fans have pointed out that the company of teams the Panthers are listed behind is a tale-tell sign of teams winning and losing. That's an understandable assumption, but Carolina wasn't winning when Gettleman took over a strapped cap either. Not to mention, free agency isn't even fully underway yet. Time will tell.
