Why Not Nic Harris?

The LB we signed last year and played after all the injuries? I thought he played really well last year and hated to see him cut before the season started, but being that he's still a FA and we seem to throw anyone back there with a pulse, it wouldn't hurt to bring him back IMO. He performed better last year than anyone we have filling in at the two LB spots (open due to injury) has played this year.

I figure it's not realistic because he's still a FA and if they wanted him, I'm sure they would've already given him a call... But, am I the only one that thinks he could help this team?

Considering the circumstances last year when he was filling in, yes. DT was weak then too and the defense still held up really well despite the injuries at LB. Obviously, Beason has something to do with that - getting sideline to sideline, but the guy played relatively well compared to what we're seeing now.

      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)?
