Notes
The Carolina Panthers restructured RB DeAngelo Williams' contract. He was in the third season of a five-year, $43 million contract and was scheduled to earn $5 million with an $8.2 million salary cap number for 2013. Williams will still receive $5 million in cash this year, but the deal has been restructured in a way that reduces his cap number to $5 million, a cap savings of $3.2 million that leaves the team $8.46 million under their adjusted 2013 salary cap number of $126.232 million. Williams was scheduled to earn $4.75 million in non-guaranteed base salary with a $250,000 workout bonus this season. Under the renegotiated contract, Williams' base salary was lowered to $850,000 and his workout bonus reduced to $150,000. The remaining $4 million was converted to a signing bonus, which will be prorated against the Panthers' cap at $800,000 per season through 2017.

Carolina Panthers general manager David Gettleman did not rule out the possibility of trading RB DeAngelo Williams at some point.
Fantasy Impact: It makes sense to trade or release Williams as he just isn't in the future plans for the Panthers.

The Carolina Panthers could save $3.4 million in cap space if they designated RB DeAngelo Williams a post-June 1 cut. That would also add a significant amount of dead money on the 2014 salary cap.

There were suggestions during the NFL owners meetings that Carolina Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams could still be on the trading block, and the team did not shoot down that notion.

The Carolina Panthers are hoping to keep RBs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart even though they are $10 million over the salary cap. The team believes they can retain Williams at his scheduled $5 million salary for 2013 and his $8.2 million cap figure.

The Carolina Panthers may not be able to bring back both RBs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart next season because the team has a lot of salary cap space tied up in their backfield.
Fantasy Impact: All signs are pointing towards Williams getting released.

The Carolina Panthers could consider releasing RB DeAngelo Williams in June because it would allow them to split his $9.6 million salary cap hit over the next two seasons.
Fantasy Impact: Williams has shown little the last few seasons so it makes sense to release him.
