REPORT: Panthers are NOT shopping Curtis Samuel

I think we probably aren’t shopping him too hard but whenever a team is shopping someone they’re going to say they’re not. I’d trade him for a 2nd but doubt a team would bite on that. I wouldn’t give up on his potential for less than that.

I don't understand why we would shop Samuel. His trade value seems marginal at this point, both because he hasn't had the production we anticipated yet and this is a deep wr draft class. He seems to have the most appeal as an elite 3rd wr/gadget player. Now that we have Anderson to slide in as a legit #2, I could see Samuel actually take another step forward. His contract is dirt cheap and we're not gonna replace his production with the late round pick (6th?) that we might get for him. It'd be a high risk, low upside move. The only way you could possibly justify it is if the new leadership sees no immediate future for him in light of all the new wr signings and have no confidence he'll make the 53 so would rather get something than nothing, but that seems moronic. You'd be giving up on a cheap, early 2nd round pick who has shown serious flashes of big play potential so you can give preference to journeyman JAG receivers who are no cheaper or in some cases more expensive. Anyhow I hope the sources are right

There isn't any incentive to trade Samuel! Where's the gain? Let's be serious, he has just as much potential as most of the receivers in this draft, and if JB and MR actually put him into a position to succeed, and with Teddy actually going through his progressions and accurately hitting Samuel in space and hopefully stride, everyone's going to see it.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
