Panthers restructure Baker's contract
The Panthers have restructured the contract of punter Jason Baker, his agent Frank Murtha said Friday.
Baker, who was scheduled to make $1.1 million this season, will now make $850,000. The rest of his deal, which runs through 2012, now includes $1.37 million in '10, $1.4 million in '11 and $1.55 in '12.
"(The Panthers) felt it was the right thing to do, so they moved a little money around," said Murtha.
The restructuring saves the Panthers money against this year's salary cap. They've already released cornerback Ken Lucas and are considering whether they should re-sign free agents such as long snapper Jason Kyle and returner Mark Jones. -- David Scott
