Trade deadline thread

I've seen a number of threads regarding specific players before tomorrow's trade deadline.

Realistically, does anyone expect Hurney to do anything? We're already without a 2018 4th from the Andy Lee deal (a pick that the Browns will undoubtedly bungle) and I'm not sure how steep a price they would want to pay to upgrade certain spots.

@Jeremy Igo, any educated guesses based on what you've observed?

Again, if there is any year to do it its this one. But Hurndawg doesn't personally benefit from rocking the boat so I imagine they'll sit on their hands and talk about cliches that involve the words "process" and "trusting" and all the other stuff that's never put a trophy in the case.

i can see him making small move for a backup oline in exchange for a 5th. Id trade our 3rd rounder for a above average LT. That way we kick kalil out to RT and even tho its still expensive its not as bad as i see him being better especially with how our scheme has the RG help the RT and the LG slide over his man and then help C here and there.

We should definitely be inquiring about Hilton. We desperately need a field stretcher. Enough of this always focusing on the future type of approach. Strike while the iron is hot. Seems like the future never seems to actually get here with this franchise. 

Are you willing to give up a 2nd or 3rd round pick for him? He has around $4M in salary left for this year which isn't a big deal but the last 3 years of his deal carry salaries of $11M, $13M and $14.5M. That's market value for him during his last 3 prime years, but it also probably means we have to let Norwell go after the year.

Yes. Some of that base could be converted to bonus if we needed it for cap flexibility. 

As for Norwell, he's a guy coaches and fans love due to his effort level but in terms of talent he's fairly easily replaceable. If he's going to command big money for an OG I'd let him walk anyway. I just don't think you can afford to carry two big money OGs. It'd be reminiscent of the days when we were limited by the Double Trouble contracts.

Fair enough. I tend to agree on Norwell. Watching him on pulling plays is very frustrating. He clearly doesn't have the athleticism to do so.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
