Carolina Panthers' contract spending this season has been roughly in line with what the market dictates — no major steals, but no egregious overpays either. Across 31 contracts, 11 grade out as good value and 7 look like overpays based on comparable deals around the league. The best bang-for-the-buck deal was Devin Lloyd (A+) at $15.0M/yr — getting linebacker production well above the price point. The priciest commitment relative to production was Dan Chisena (D-) at $1.2M/yr — the wide receiver market may have been richer than the on-field return suggests. The spending approach is neither aggressive nor conservative — a wait-and-see approach from a cap perspective.
