Carolina’s Cap Comparison: Tight Ends

Next Year

For the 2027 season, only Sanders and Evans are currently slated to be on the roster as both continue their rookie contracts. Sanders’ contract ends after 2027, while Evans’ goes through the 2028 season. Aside from that, the Panthers don’t have any players under contract at tight end for 2027. I would imagine they’d bring back one or two of the current players, potentially drafting another one in the 2027 Draft.

Measuring Up

Once again, the Panthers are right in the middle of the league in spending, landing 15th by allocating 4.55% of their cap on tight ends. This is a little surprising considering the lack of elite talent the Panthers have at the position. Tremble’s $8 million definitely shoots the team up the rankings. At the top of the league are teams with high end veterans dragging their cap percentage up like the Vikings (8.8% with Hockenson taking up most of that) and Falcons (8.32% after franchise tagging Kyle Pitts). At the bottom of the league are the Dolphins (1.72%) and Chargers (1.55%), neither of whom are spending more than a million dollars on a single player at the position.
