Cade Mays, a former Tennessee Volunteers offensive lineman, is set to hit free agency after a remarkable turnaround with the Carolina Panthers. Despite a slow start in his pro career, Mays stepped up this past season, starting twelve games at center. After transferring from Georgia to Tennessee and joining the Panthers, he only started seven games in his first two years. However, a short stint on the New York Giants practice squad led him back to Carolina, where he started eight games. NFL executives now see Mays as an overlooked talent in a thin center market, projecting deals around eight to ten million dollars annually, potentially ranking him among the top ten highest-paid at his position. Mays journey from practice squad battles to free agency buzz showcases how quickly fortunes can change in the league, with teams eager to secure his services.
