A low-risk practice squad reclamation signing with minimal immediate impact for Carolina. Five headlines covered the move, mostly buried beneath the Hunter Renfrow release news. The key signal is Carolina's unsettled safety depth, with the starting spot opposite Moehrig still openly contested. Fans are more focused on who wins the starting safety job than this depth addition. Richardson will compete for a roster spot but likely remains a practice squad depth piece.
This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Carolina Panthers — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Demani's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL Ss, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the S market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Demani is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
