Realistic DE trade targets

Who is out there that is a realistic trade option? I think we all agree that a defensive end would really give this defense what it needs to make the push towards the post season. Who is out there that we could afford that would potentially be available.

My choice would be Jabaal Sheard from the Colts. He makes around 7.5 million this year and next and his salary next season isn't guaranteed. The Colts aren't doing a damn thing this year and may be willing to part ways with him for a mid to late round pick to allow some younger guys to get playing time.

I couldn't really find any other veteran DE's on reasonable contracts on bad teams.

Who we gonna cut or restructure to create cap room? is the better question.  Cause right now we can’t afford to trade for anyone.  

There is another option. We don't have room to trade future picks and gain salary, but trading salary is always an option (although usually not desirable). Fore example, if a team with a DE we like is interested in Cameron Artis Payne, including him in the deal frees a few hundred thousand on the cap. TD could gain a couple million. (I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT PROPOSING A TD TRADE. ONLY USING HIM AS AN EXAMPLE)

Hasn't played a down of quality football in almost 3 years. The only one that can't handle the truth (the fact Hardy's NFL career is done) is you.

Played in the Spring and Arena League’s.  A 30 year old All-Pro with the tread of a 25 year old.  In phenomenal shape.  With experience, now no drugs or alcohol, motivation, and MMA fine motor skills, would be better than ever.  Would be the second best player on this D from day 1.

I don't know why this is getting pooed on.  I love it.

You must not know this board or the sheep that are the human species.  Believing what the masses tell them instead of seeking their own truths based on facts.  Either that or desperately needing TRT.

Many here may have even been in BOA the last time he AND THE MEDIA were full-go in a Panthers uniform at home-a nationally televised Sunday night preseason game vs Kansas City in 2014 when he was vociferously cheered without backlash.

Posted this before but I'll post it again even though he isn't exactly a DE.

Lorenzo Alexander from the Bills. He is PFF's highest graded EDGE defender and their 10th highest graded player overall. He is 35 and in the last year of his contract so the Bills are not really likely to want to bring him back while they rebuild and they are obviously not going anywhere this year so he could very likely be had for very cheap. Likely a 6th or 7th would do it. He is making $2.5M this year so we don't need to do much to make room for him. We have a good trading relationship with Buffalo. He plays in McDermott's defense so there would be very little adjustment period to play in ours.

The negatives are that this is truly a half season rental with really no future use for him at his age and he is really a 3-4 OLB rather than a 4-3 DE with his size at 6'1" 245 but McD is making it work with him in their defense. Surely we can just plug him into ours in the same role they are using since it's basically identical. Maybe just use him as a pass rush specialist on 3rd downs and at the end of games. As a bonus he might be able to impart some knowledge on how to play as an EDGE at his size to Marquis Haynes.

To me he is the best combination of cheap and productive that could realistically be available.

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' preseason loss to Texans

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm happy with TMac, but Tyler Warren was last season's Tyler Linderbaum for me in that he was at a position that wasn't one of the five pillars but he was the best player at his position AND one of the top talents in the draft. I cannot fuging wait for the Panthers to start winning again so that those guys fall to us like they seem to for teams like Baltimore & Philadelphia.

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.
