The Panthers pulled off a savvy financial move by restructuring Tershawn Wharton’s contract, freeing up over $9 million in cap space—critical for compliance before kickoff. Despite his neck surgery and expected absence through at least Week 4, the team locked him in through 2027, avoiding costly dead cap penalties if they cut him. Rookie Lee Hunter, a second-round pick, is set to start in his place, showing the Panthers’ faith in Wharton’s long-term role—even as he sits out the early season.
