Panthers Are Trading OL Trai Turner To LAC For LT Russell Okung

[CMAC22]

There has to be draft picks included with this deal and not just a straight up player for player deal!

Solid move

Trading you best olineman for a lineman whos older, less accomplished, and has a bigger cap hit . Just Hurney things

And we didn't even get a draft pick back. We got fleeced.

Maybe he'll fail his physical. 

[Soul Rebel]

What good is a lazy, mistake-prone guard on a top-5 team contract in '21 do for us long-term? 

IMO, adding a bridge LT for 2020 while Little recovers and can learn from a vet and then have no contract on the books for '21 >> Trai Turner

[pantherj]

Yeah this is a long term money move, short term stop gap.

[Jared Patterson]

Why not get a pick??? Thats what there is no excuse for. The Jags got a fourth for a worse player. We could have got a third for Trai

[pantherj]

Maybe we did get a pick?

This is horrible decision....bottom line. If anyone can make it make sense I'm all ears.

Holy cow, its being reported we want Okung at LT  Daley at LG. Paradis at C and resign GVR to play RG.... is that the worst Oline of all time?

[LinvilleGorge]

Trai has sucked ever since he signed that big deal. I'm fine with moving him. We've been sucking at LT ever since Gross retired aside from one year of Oher playing well... we just happened to go to the SB that year. It wasn't all due to Oher, but it's not a coincidence that we had a great season the one year we had competent LT play.

I'm fine with rolling the dice on Okung, especially since our OL coach has experience with him. This may signal that Rhule and company think that Little is an outright bust or it may indicate that he'll kick inside to guard or maybe they just think he needs a little seasoning in a backup role. Who knows, but I'm not freaking out about this move in the least.

I think Daley at LG was always the long-term plan. Not a fan of GVR at RG, I'd prefer him in a versatile backup role.

In other news, it's barely into March and this roster is nowhere near set.

[cookinbrak]

I'd still get Thomas at #7.
