Should we trade for Calais Campbell?

Here is an article from Catscratch that makes perfect sense. I think back to the Superbowl run, and how Jared Allen helped this team apply pressure and he was picked up by a trade. The defense was awesome with Allen, Short, and Norman. Our window is somewhat closing so should the panthers make a play for a top-tier DE with experience?

I mean, it would make sense. The only issue I see is that it's another 30+ year old DL. A trade for Campbell is still just a short-term band-aid. We desperately need young DL talent. Those Ealy and Butler busts sting.

And Hall

Jury is still out on Haynes

Laugh if you want, but I think Tepper could be watching the Huddle. I mean he did put the logo midfield to satisfy the Huddle faithful. What's the chance that he is reading this forum and telling Hurney to go make the deal now! LOL. Maybe the Huddle could will the trade into existence? LOL

Who say Jacksonville is even looking to have a firesale?  Didnt they just sign him last season?  Although it would be awesome, this one is a stretch for me.

Of course it is.  There’s only one “sane” solution right now at DE to significantly aid our Super Bowl odds without giving up a TON for an old guy or a young bust.  No one gives away one for free, even a guy that’s two years older than Hardy in Campbell.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
