The Carolina Panthers recently made a financial move by releasing cornerback Dane Jackson, clearing $3.35 million in salary cap space. Jackson, who had signed a two-year contract last March, faced challenges due to injury and performance, allowing significant completions when targeted. This strategic release allows the Panthers to focus on extending Pro Bowl cornerback Jaycee Horn, while maintaining sufficient funds to potentially re-sign Michael Jackson, who played an integral role this season. It also opens up opportunities for younger players like Chau Smith-Wade to develop in the team’s defense.
