Pat Elflein News
The Carolina Panthers released offensive lineman Pat Elflein (hip) on Tuesday. He was officially released with a failed-physical designation after requiring surgery on his hip last October. The 28-year-old started in only 15 games in his two seasons with the Panthers, including just six starts in 2022. The move to cut Elflein will save the Panthers over $4.2 million in salary cap space in 2023. The former third-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2017 has played with three different teams in his six NFL seasons and will be looking for a new team this offseason.
Carolina Panthers center Pat Elflein could be a potential cap casualty this offseason. The 28-year-old has a $7 million cap hit for the 2023 season. The team would save roughly $4.2 million by cutting Elflein. He began the year as the starting center, but was placed on the injured reserve in October. Elflein underwent hip surgery, which ended his 2022 season. The organization could use that extra money to re-sign their current starting center in Bradley Bozeman.
The Carolina Panthers placed offensive guard Pat Elflein (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Also, defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos (ankle) will not play on Thursday night against the Houston Texans. Elflein will now miss at least the next three weeks of action. The 27-year-old wasn't all that solid late in the 2020 season, and he had gotten off to a rough start this year. Dennis Daley stepped in for Elflein at left guard in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals and is expected to remain at the position for the foreseeable future. Gross-Matos has yet to practice this week after playing a limited role in the first two weeks of the season.
