You know when you have a big bounty on your head, sooner or later someone will hunt you down. I mean it’s pretty hard to ignore the financials when you have the trigger in your hand. BAM! And there you go, you have what you had been aiming for. So, with that thought in mind, the Panthers pulled the trigger on someone they had just heavily rewarded a few seasons ago. But now they thought, why not move on from him and salvage what they can—financially.
See, the Panthers have just announced the release of veteran running back Miles Sanders. And guess what? His exit is not at all surprising. You could say it was something the Panthers were expected to do sooner or later considering how big of a cap casualty he was. Cutting Sanders before June 1st saves the Panthers $5,225,000 in cap space. But that comes with a dead money hit under $3M. If not before June 1st, designating him with a post-June 1st cut will save the Panthers $6.7M.
Actually, there’s more to his release. The Panthers also kind of ditched him after he was signed to a $25.4M deal in 2023. So, with two years still on his contract—Sanders’ run in Carolina ends here.
Stay tuned for more updates. This page will be updated with more information soon.
