According to Ian Rapoport, the Panthers are signing TE Hayden Hurst to the roster.
Adam Caplan adds it’s a three-year deal between Carolina and Hurst. The value of the deal is $21.75 million in total, per Mike Garafolo, with $13 million of that guaranteed.
Hurst, 29, was drafted with the No. 25 overall pick in the 2018 draft by the Baltimore Ravens. He played out the final year of a four-year, $11.036 million rookie contract that included a $6.106 million signing bonus.
After Hurst spent two seasons with Baltimore, the Ravens traded him to Atlanta along with a fourth-round pick in exchange for a second-round pick and a fifth-round pick, all in the 2020 draft.
Hurst was set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2022 when he signed a one-year deal with the Bengals.
In 2022, Hurst appeared in 13 games for the Bengals and recorded 52 receptions on 68 targets for 414 yards and two touchdowns.
