## Resource

The Panthers are quietly building a defensive line powerhouse without spending a fortune—currently dead last in cap spend on the position, at just over five percent. While stars like Brian Burns and Derrick Brown carry hefty contracts, the team’s savvy management leaves room to cut underperformers like Marquis Haynes and Bobby Brown, who have minimal guaranteed money. Young talents on rookie deals are locked in for now, but extensions must come soon without fifth-year options. As those big contracts kick in next season, the cap spend will rise—but for now, the Panthers are proving that elite defense doesn’t require elite spending.
