Cade Mays

Panthers re-signed C Cade Mays to a one-year, $3.3 million contract.

Mays was a restrcited free agent and the Panthers chose to tender him at the original round level. As a former sixth-round pick, Mays was then allowed to look for an offer as a free agent. The Panthers could then match that offer or let him walk in exchange for a sixth-round pick from his new team. With no takers on the open market, Mays returns for a camp battle with Austin Corbett for the starting center job this summer.
