## Resource

The Carolina Panthers are contemplating their options with defensive lineman Tershawn Wharton, who signed a lucrative deal but has underperformed due to injuries and subpar statistics. Despite being listed as a potential trade candidate, releasing him would result in minimal cap savings and significant dead money penalties. The Panthers are likely to retain him, hoping for improved performance to justify his contract. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
