Robert Hunt

Panthers agreed to terms with OG Robert Hunt, formerly of the Dolphins, on a five-year, $100 million contract.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports it includes $63 million guaranteed, a king’s ransom for an interior lineman. The Panthers needed wholesale blocking improvements as they look to get Bryce Young’s career on track following a calamitous rookie campaign. 2020 second-rounder Hunt is a good, if not elite, place to start. He did miss extensive 2023 time with injury. This could end up a severe overpay. The Panthers are in a position to overpay as they try to develop Young during the remaining years of his rookie contract.
