Good move. Effort player, high motor and getting better. Had him out of position playing 3 tech this year and he struggled holding his ground and taking on double teams. But he deserves a spot on the 90 man roster and another opportunity to compete.

Probably no guarantee he makes the roster and it’ll depend a fair amount on the new coaching staff and defensive scheme, but nice to see him have another shot here this year.

Next head coach won't have any attachment to him.

More moves the incoming HC will be forced to accept.

This is all backwards.  Dont get me wrong, I like Efe.  We just shouldn't be making roster moves with no coaching staff.

Like it was mentioned this is more of a competing for a spot contract. He was 570,000 last year I assume this would be about 750,000. OTC listed his value at 1.2... I hope Hurney didn’t go that high.

Good bottom of roster depth piece but has shown better at DE in 43 looks from what I saw (especially last year).  Being an ERFA, I imagine there is likely no guarantees involved in the contract and it will be worth around 650-700k so I don't see an issue with it.

Allen, Bonnafon and Slye probably won't be too far behind

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
