Trade deadline Oct 28, do you think we make a move?


Recommended Posts

The trade deadline is quickly approaching, do you think that the Panthers may make a move to help them extend their division lead, or will they be content to just sit tight?

 

One curious case is CJ spiller. he is heavily speculated to be on the trading block by the Bills.

He would be an interesting addition, but I don't know if we have the flexibility needed to do it.  We'd have to give up some draft picks, and at this point, I'm not sure we're in a position because of the cap situation to lose young players.  In the offseason we're gonna have to cut one if not both aging running backs that will cost us some money, we'll also have to get some O-line help which will be at the forefront of our focus, as well as re-signing cam.  On top of all of this, improvement HAS to be made on defense, particularly the safety positions, so giving up a draft pick or two for a RB who will cost us about 5mil (before he complains about his contract) will hurt us badly.  I honestly really want to see Fozzy get healthy and give him a chance to produce, that way we know whether or not we need to look into getting a RB in the draft.

Unfortunately, cutting our aging running backs won't save us much money at all this offseason

Spiller would be an interesting addition for sure, but we are still in the process of trying to move on from our own assets, not take on others.

 

The only teams I see with any chance of making a deadline splash are teams like the Broncos that have gone all-in on winning now and have a limited window to do so.

There is in fact, another position of concern i would like to address and thats the power running back position,why? because it compliments Cams mobility and the rushing attack in general; by puttung opposing defenses literally on their heels and CJ Spiller doesnt fit the bill.

    • We didn’t need a 50/50 ball receiver. We need guys who can create separation for Bryce to pinpoint the ball to at all levels of the defense. Tet may figure it out a few years from now but he will struggle to beat man coverage due to his lack of acceleration and what seems to be relatively slim frame.    The offense functioned much better with Theilen last season because of his ability to create separation from defenders. I don’t know why but that is Bryce’s go-to rather than a 50/50 ball which, in the NFL, is a throw you may make two times per game.    i wanted Tyle Warren because I feel he can end up being very much like Kelci and how he operates in space and how that chemistry between he and Mahomes doesn’t need a playbook. Then you’ve got Matthew Golden who is apparently burning everyone at Packers camp right now. He is very much like Antonio Brown.    We clearly made the pick we made so I should get over it. I think everyone is hoping for Mike Evans here but at best I think we may get a smaller DK Metcalf? Given what we know about his inability to break coverage at UA-Tuscon, it’s going to be even harder in THA LEAGUE. 
    • With how WR starved we've been over the years I'll gladly take 7 on the roster.  There will no doubt be injuries so it gives flexibility and also makes it easier when someone needs to rest for a week for a nagging injury if someone else can step up.   The Renfrow story has been great.  Dude was on the couch dealing with some real stuff the last year and probably misses playing and is going all out.  And basically his hometown team, near his family, it's like a perfect storm.  We already knew he ran amazing routes and is a third down machine.  AT isn't going to be around forever but Renfrow could slide into that vet leadership role in the future.
    • I hope Deion will be well now, he's been battling a lot of health issues, as do almost every person of his or our age. Even one of the greatest athletes of his time has had to battle with health issues and thankfully it seems like he's been on top of things. Learn from him and stay on top of things, especially after 40. You really, really aren't as young as you feel.
