Positional Breakdown of the Panthers' Pending Free Agents
Heading into the offseason, the Carolina Panthers have 24 pending free agents, two of whom are restricted free agents and one who is an exclusive rights free agent.
Restricted free agents will be allowed to meet with and potentially even agree to terms on a deal with another team but the franchise he played for on his expired deal will have the opportunity to match the offer sheet, if they so choose.
An exclusive rights free agent applies to a player who is credited with less than three seasons of service time when his contract expires and is a free agent. If he is tendered, then that ERFA can only sign with that team to a one-year, league minimum deal.
Here is a full look at who is set to hit free agency this offseason.
