*SPECULATION* Rapoport: Panthers Among Potential Suitors For Trading For 16 Million Dollar Scatback Jarvis Landry

[Saca312]

DISCLAIMER: This Is A Rapoport Take. Meaning, it's on par with his world famous Ron Rivera to LA take and Jarvis Landry to the Saints because LSU.

This is not sourced. This is merely speculation. I apologize sincerely for the confusion.

*****************************************************************************************

Apparently Hurney's interested in paying 16 million dollars to a slot receiver at best.

Hopefully this is merely speculation and nothing more. Despite what you think about Landry and his skillset 16 million dollars is way too much, and I have doubts he'll be negotiating a reasonable deal.

Oh lawd

[Mr. Scot]

Sounds like speculation.

If we were to do this though, yikes!

Trades for franchise players take high picks to complete, even if lesser than the set tag price is negotiated.

[Saca312]

Of course, if this does happen, there's always potential to negotiate for a better contract while he's franchise tagged. 

The bigger issue is the risk of him not accepting any offers while giving up a lot of trade capital for him. I can't see this being a plausible or good move, but it is Hurney after all.

 

[LinvilleGorge]

Jesus God please no.

To all those who were thinking that "Hurney won't be all that bad" or "well, he's the best option for the short term", THIS is the type of poo the rest of us were terrified of him doing.

[The Lobo]

I love a good rumor, but this says potential suitors. That could mean anything; for example, man who is willing to give house away to someone in need of house, homeless people are potential suitors.

im not talking down to homeless ppl I’m just using an analogy

[Saca312]

And please spare me the Landry cult. I don't need to be converted to whatever deity you see in Landry or slandered for not thinking he's the next coming of Jerry Rice or something.

[Saca312]

@Mr. Scot also has a point, which makes us being possible suitors for Landry even more perplexing.

We have to give up a LOT of draft capital just because he's a franchise tagged player.  Not only that, but we'd be taking up the franchise tag price as well, which wouldn't be wise for our current cap situation. Even via trade, there's no doubt the Dolphin's will be begging for a lot in return for Landry.

Hurney would be an even bigger idiot than I'd have ever thought if this ever comes to fruition.

[TheSpecialJuan]

Do it Hurney, do it

I think he's a solid WR and I would love to have him in a vacuum, but I wouldn't want him at the type of contract that he's likely to demand (and get). And I certainly wouldn't want to swing a trade for him under the franchise tag. Oh hell no. Hard pass.

Like Lombardi said you're paying him 16 on a franchise tag, good luck negotiating a reasonable deal. 

[SOJA]

Yikes I am not interested in landry at all, even at a more modest price.

This. If you're offering him a "reasonable deal" he'd be better off just pocketing his $16M and rolling the dice again next year.
