Panthers sign four key free agents
3 years ago - Sportingbase
One of the busiest teams since the end of the regular season has been the Carolina Panthers. We all know that Carolina has the number one overall pick from their blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bears. It is highly expected they will draft a quarterback after Sam Darnold signed with the San Francisco 49ers. This week the Panthers acquired four more players, as they signed safety Vonn Bell, tight end Hayden Hurst, running back Miles Sanders and defensive tackle Shy Tuttle in free agency.
Bell of Chattanooga, Tennessee signed a three-year deal worth $22.5 million. The Panthers are Bell’s third National Football League team following four seasons with the New Orleans Saints (2016 to 2019), and the last three seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals (2020 to 2022). In 2022, Bell had 77 combined tackles (52 solo tackles and 25 assisted tackles), four tackles for a loss, four quarterback hits, four interceptions for 56 yards, eight pass deflections, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. The fumble recovery came in a 27-16 Bengals win over the Baltimore Ravens on January 8.
Hurst of Jacksonville, Florida, signed a three-year deal worth $21.75 million. The Panthers are Hurst’s fourth NFL team following the Baltimore Ravens (2018 and 2019), the Atlanta Falcons (2020 and 2021), and the Bengals (2022). In 13 games this past season, he had 52 catches for 414 yards and two touchdowns.

Sanders of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, signed a four-year deal worth $25 million. The Panthers are Sanders’s second team following four seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. In 2022, he had 259 rushes for 1269 yards and 11 touchdowns, along with 20 catches for 78 yards. Sanders was also selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time in 2022.
Tuttle of Winston-Salem, North Carolina signed a three-year deal worth $19 million. The Panthers are Tuttle’s second team following four seasons with the New Orleans Saints. In 2022, Tuttle had 49 combined tackles (26 solo tackles and 23 assisted tackles), three quarterback hits, one tackle for a loss, five pass deflections and two sacks.
