Sportrac.com and OverThecap.com have become incredible resources for media and fans searching for salary cap information about their teams.
Sportrac updated its positional spending numbers Wednesday, and while they reveal much of what we already know about the Panthers, I thought it would be helpful to visualize the data in the chart below.
A few notes:
- The Panthers are currently allocating 23% of their adjusted cap space toward defensive ends. The league average is 9.45%. The $31.8 million Carolina has committed to its defensive ends is the most of any position for any team. Only four other teams even break $20 million: Arizona ($20.5), Buffalo ($26.7), Jacksonville ($25.6) and St. Louis ($24.0).
- The Panthers are currently allocating 8.4% of their adjusted cap space toward running backs. The league average is 4.95%. Only four teams have committed more to their running backs than Carolina ($11.1): (Buffalo $12.4), Minnesota ($15.8), Philadelphia ($13.4) and Tennessee ($13.8).
- The Panthers are currently allocating 2% of their adjusted cap space toward wide receivers, the smallest amount of any team. The league average is 9.65%.
- The Panthers are currently allocating .4% of their adjusted cap space toward left tackles, the smallest amount of any team. The league average is 4.36%.
