The three-time Pro Bowler is attending the team's training camp, but so far has not participated in practice. That will likely change now that the contract is ironed out.
Last year, Hunter recorded 10.5 sacks. He's a disrupting presence that would have been tough to replace - especially after the team traded Za'Darius Smith.
