The addition of offensive lineman Robert Hunt proved to be quite a valuable one for the Carolina Panthers in 2024. Conversely, the loss of Hunt—in the case of the Miami Dolphins—will have some value of its own.
According to Over The Cap contract analyst (and the Compensatory Picks Guy™) Nick Korte, Miami is projected to receive a third-round compensatory pick for Carolina’s signing of Hunt. Korte forecasts the return on Hunt as one of only two third-round comp picks, along with the Minnesota Vikings’ loss of quarterback Kirk Cousins—who got himself a four-year, $180 million pact from the Atlanta Falcons last offseason.
The Panthers, in March of 2024, inked the then-27-year-old hog molly to a five-year, $100 million deal. Hunt would go on to play in every single offensive snap on the season before missing the Week 18 finale against the Falcons.
Korte also projects the Seattle Seahawks to land a fourth-rounder for fellow Panthers starting guard Damien Lewis (four years, $53 million) and the Baltimore Ravens to scoop up a fifth for outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (two years, $20 million).
