## 2026 Outlook

Bobby Brown III joined the Panthers as a free-agent signing in 2025 on a three-year, $21 million deal with $4 million guaranteed. However, he underperformed expectations in his first season with Carolina, ranking as the 80th-highest graded defensive lineman by Pro Football Focus. With $18 million in remaining cap hits, the Panthers have added other interior defensive line depth this offseason, putting pressure on Brown's role heading into 2026. He's emerged as a potential trade candidate; if traded, the Panthers would save $6.2 million in 2026 cap space and another $8 million in 2027, though moving his contract may prove difficult. (per 2 Panthers among post-June candidates to hit the NFL's trade block).
