Not too long before the Carolina Panthers announced a Sunday night special with wide receiver Adam Thielen, we gave you a breakdown of the team’s updated salary cap space. But, uh, that’s pretty much moot now, isn’t it?
Thielen is onboard with a three-year, $25 million pact, one—similarly to the other free-agent deals the Panthers have handed out this offseason—that is pretty backloaded. The contract includes a mild $3.3 million cap number for 2023, then hits of $9.9 million in 2024 and $8.4 million in 2025.
