Shaq Thompson agrees to contract restructure

Photo by Jared C. Tilton/ The move creates a little more cap space for the Panthers The Carolina Panthers have agreed to a contract restructure with linebacker Shaq Thompson. The restructure, which is a polite way of saying pay cut in this instance, ensures Thompson will be with the team through at least the 2024 season. The #Panthers recently restructured LB Shaq Thompson's contract, reducing his base pay this season to $3.1 million ($1.7M guaranteed) and clearing about $3M in cap space. So amidst a roster overhaul in Carolina, Thompson -- the team's first-round pick...
