The Carolina Panthers In Tough Waters Following A Difficult 2023 Season
The Carolina Panthers did not have much to smile about this season, where they finished at the very pit of the NFL with a league worst 2-15 record.
Sadly, the sole consolation prize for having the league’s worst record, the 1st overall pick in the following year’s draft, was traded to the Chicago Bears in exchange for moving up in the 2023 Draft to attain the services of Bryce Young.
Without their 1st round pick, and with very little cap space to work with, the near future looks somewhat bleak for Carolina.
Panthers Making A Big Splash To Protect Their Prized Asset
However, the one area Carolina are willing to back up the big bucks is to help keep their 5’10 2nd year quarterback, Bryce Young, upright.
Having excellent bookend tackles in Taylor Moton and Ikem Ekwonu, the Panthers needed reinforcements in the interior of their offensive line after releasing Bradley Bozeman late last week.
And it looks as if they will have their man, per Jordan Schultz.

Carolina Panthers Pickup One Of The Top Free Agent Guards Of 2024 Class
Robert Hunt, despite having not made a Pro Bowl or All Pro team during his time in Miami, was ranked as the NFL’s 14th ranked free agent prospect, giving some insight into the massive deal for the former 39th overall pick.
In fact, this deal makes him the joint third highest paid guard in the NFL alongside Quentin Nelson, and just behind Pro Bowlers Chris Lindstrom and newly signed Landon Dickerson.
Hopefully this new addition can help build a sturdy foundation for head coach Dave Canales to get his franchise quarterback playing at the level we all saw from him at Alabama.
