Ikem Ekwonu vs Myles Garrett Pt.2

Ekwonu is going into the fourth year of his rookie deal and being a first round pick the Panthers have to option of picking up his 5th year option which they did right before the 2025 NFL Draft. That option is fully guaranteed and worth 17.5 million. Ickey has proven to be solid in the Panthers run game but edge rushers with a quick first step have given him problems in the past. His first regular season game of his career was against Garrett and the Browns. Garrett made him look like a rookie on that day at Bank of America Stadium as he gave up 2 sacks and had a critical false start penalty late in the game. All this to say I hope Ickey has a chance to get some redemptions against Garrett. More than likely this will have to happen at the joint practices. There is no guarantee that either of them will play in the preseason opener. With fans not being allowed at training camp this year and next we will depend on our local media to keep us updated during this joint practice.
