Upcoming Cuts - Trades Possible ?


Paa Langfart

Recommended Posts

My first instinct was, "Trades? No way we trade".  But then I remembered that just last year we traded Kenjon Barner to Philly for conditional picks.  It didn't work out since Philly cut him, but it allowed us to free up 53 man spots with some potential compensation in return.  Maybe he does the same this year with some bubble RB's or WR's?

I'll give it a 50-50. I would bet that this time of year there is always someone who is spying a possible trade as our rosters develop behind the scenes.  Why drop a player that shows promise if you can get another player with promise or a late round pick?

Of course I may be seeing thing through Panther-colored glasses, but I don't believe that we'll just cut guys like Klein or Glanton without giving a trade an attempt.  And with Gman's connection to the Giants, and an apparent proclivity towards acquiring smart guys in later rounds that Billy B. apparently seems to appreciate, the chance that we trade one of these guys may even be likely.

Given the importance of the qb position, having a decent backup is important.  We don't really want to part with him, but probably would for the right price.  However, I think the teams that might want Anderson wouldn't be willing to meet our asking price. 

what would you take?  I'd ask for a 2nd, and I don't think many teams would give that up.  QBs are just hard to find.

I could definitely see us adding some OT depth.  Not sure about trade, but more like picking up someone as other teams trim down their rosters.  Any depth chart that features Nate Chandler on the two deep scares the hell out of me.  Everyone bashes Byron Bell and for good reason, but it seems like most have forgotten that Chandler was even worse.

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
