Panthers Consider Cutting Tremble for Cap Space

0:00On April 2nd, the Carolina Panthers are sitting on just 2.2 million in cap space right now, so they're eyeing some roster tweaks to breathe. Easier, the big name popping up is tight-in Tommy Trimble, who they could cut to save 4 million bucks straight up. That move might pair with dumping-edge Russia Patrick Jones for another 4.75 million, pushing them past 10 million total relief. Jones brings Vetsavvy at a thin spot, but Trimble's the expendable one, among a crowded tight-in group. Fans adore Trimble, even if his stats don't wow less than 1,000 yards over 5 seasons. He's the guy pulling off wild hurdle attempts and stiff arms that light up highlight reels, turning average plays into fan gold. Meanwhile, the Panthers are rebuilding younger at tight-in, which are taby on sanders and Mitchell Evans, and they're high on drafting someone like Kenyan Sadiq soon. Trimble's 2-year deal from last offseason now feels like a short pit stop. With free agency spending still stinging, clearing his cap hit clears the path forward, even if it stings for those epic moments he'll leave behind.
