Panthers Revising OT Yosh Nijman’s Contract For $1.6M In Cap Space

Kaye adds Nijman’s deal will still end after the season.

Nijman, 29, originally signed on with the Packers as an undrafted free agent back in 2019 but re-signed to the practice squad coming out of the preseason.

He was eventually promoted to the active roster in November of 2019. The Packers re-signed him as an exclusive rights free agent for 2021 and 2022. 

Green Bay tendered Nijman as a restricted free agent in 2023 at the second-round level worth $4.3 million. He signed a two-year, $8 million deal with Carolina last offseason. 

In 2024, Nijman appeared in 16 games for the Panthers and made three starts.
