Carolina Panthers<\/a> starting right guard Robert Hunt may be back on the recruiting trail.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the Miami Dolphins<\/a> officially announced the release of five-time first-team All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill. They’re also, according to multiple reports<\/a>, expected to part ways with two-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker Bradley Chubb.<\/p>\n

Both Hill and Chubb could fill two of Carolina’s most pressing needs this offseason, as the Panthers are certainly in the market for a home-run threat<\/a> on offense and a productive pass rusher<\/a> on defense. And Hunt, based off a reply on Twitter\/X from this afternoon, seems ready to offer up some accommodations to the newly-available stars . . .<\/p>\n

Hunt played with Hill (@cheetah) and Chubb (@astronaut) during his four-year stint for the Dolphins. (By the way, props to those guys for landing some premium Twitter\/X handles.)<\/p>\n

He must’ve enjoyed his time in Miami with Hill especially, as this wouldn’t be the first time Hunt has reached out<\/a> for the former Super Bowl champion . . .<\/p>\n

Hopefully for the Panthers, “Big Rob” has some big pull.<\/p>\n
