A low-risk future contract signing with minimal immediate impact for Carolina. Headlines confirm this was part of a 15-player future deals batch, suggesting a roster-filler move. Funderburk's lone highlight reel clip involves an interception, not consistent NFL-level play. Fans won't notice this signing until training camp cuts reveal his roster fate. He's a long-shot camp body competing for a practice squad spot at best.

This signing grades out as a bad deal for the Carolina Panthers — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Tyrek's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL CBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.0M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the CB market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Tyrek is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
