According to reports from WRALSportsFan.com, the Carolina Panthers have reached a deal with Robert Hunt, a former guard from the Miami Dolphins.
According to multiple media sources, the Carolina Panthers have reached an agreement with offensive lineman Robert Hunt.
The team announced on their website that the agreement cannot be finalized until the beginning of the league year on Wednesday, pending the player’s passing of a physical examination.
According to reports, the agreement is for a duration of five years and has a potential value of $100 million, with a guaranteed amount of $63 million.
Having Hunt on the team will improve the Panthers’ middle section by shielding second-year quarterback Bryce Young. It will also aid in establishing the team’s running strategy.
Hunt, who is 27 years old, was selected as the 39th overall pick by the Miami Dolphins in the 2020 NFL Draft. During his rookie season, he primarily played as a right tackle but has since become a steady right guard. He has accumulated a total of 55 starts in the last four seasons.
Hunt was restricted to playing only 10 games in 2023 due to a hamstring injury.
Hunt’s contract, which averages $20 million annually, places him among the highest-paid offensive guards in the NFL. He is tied with Quenton Nelson of the Indianapolis Colts and sits just below Chris Lindstrom of the Atlanta Falcons, whose contract averages $20.5 million per year.
