Rodrigue: Don't expect a big trade

From The Athletic's trade deadline primer (Link)

Team needs: Tackle depth, depth at cornerback and safety.

Why they might make a move: I can’t see Carolina making a blockbuster trade before the deadline, but they could certainly stand to shore up some depth at corner, safety and at left tackle where injuries have left their roster a little thin. Rookie Dennis Daley is about to get his third start at left tackle on Sunday, and while he’s playing well, the Panthers are one bad hit away from an offensive line catastrophe. Carolina could also be looking to stock up on draft picks.

Who to keep an eye on: DT Vernon Butler. The former first-round pick has played well in recent weeks but has underwhelmed in his previous three seasons. Trading Butler becomes less likely now that Carolina has placed Kawann Short on injured reserve, but if a team offered a few good draft picks for him, they might be tempted.

and yet the only position we've been linked to is indeed WR.  Not sure if it's been confirmed or just speculative. 

Well, technically there's that position LG was hinting at :)

Pretty sure it's all been speculation. I tend to agree with Rodrigue that if there is anything at all, it'll be depth related. And I'm not really even expecting anything there.

Person had his own take in a separate article and he believes we'll stand pat.

This isn’t breaking news, can’t remember the last time this team made a big time trade 

The Kelvin Benjamin trade wasn't that long ago.

Granted, that was treating somebody away and we didn't even initiate it, but it did happen at the last minute and nobody saw it coming.

how nice is it to be approaching the deadline and being able to say "a little depth at  a couple of spots would be nice, but we're gonna roll with the guys on 4 game win streak."

 

Not to be a downer, but didn't we also have similar thoughts this time last year? :thinking:

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
