Shaq Thompson

Panthers restructured the contract of LB Shaq Thompson.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Panthers reduced Thompson’s base salary to $3.1 million while giving him $1.7 million in guaranteed money. The move clears roughly $3 million in cap space for the Panthers, who have just over $18 million in available cap. Thompson played in only two games for the Panthers last season due to a season-ending leg injury but should be ready to participate in offseason programs and training camp.
