- The #Panthers have easily the highest cap commitment to OL spending ($97.3 million, per Over The Cap) in the NFL ($26.4 million more than the next highest in cap commitment this year). But remember, through six games, $38.7 million (Moton and Ekwonu -- more than the team spends on RB and WR talent combined) of that cap charge has amounted to seven quarters of play at RT. Both Ekwonu and Moton's situations were out of Carolina's control. Ekwonu was guaranteed his fifth-year option seven months before he injured his patellar tendon, and Moton was diagnosed with a blood clot in the summer. Carolina spent a first-round pick on Monroe Freeling as Ekwonu insurance in the short-term and long-term. They also signed Rasheed Walker to fill the void. Their salaries also count in the big total.
