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.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
