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)?
