The Carolina Panthers are facing a challenging offseason as they look to create cap space despite having limited financial flexibility. After the disappointing performances from players like Miles Sanders and Shy Tuttle, analysts suggest that these two are likely to be released. Sanders, who was expected to be a key player after signing a four-year deal, has been outperformed by Chuba Hubbard, making his departure almost certain. Tuttle's performance also fell short of expectations, and cutting him would free up valuable cap space for the team.

While the Panthers may explore other cuts, Adam Thielen's situation is less clear-cut given his strong finish last season, though age could influence the team's direction. Ultimately, clearing approximately $10 million through these moves could open opportunities for the Panthers to make impactful signings in free agency, potentially reshaping their roster for the coming season.
