If the Panthers were to listen to trade offers, The Athletic's Sheil Kapadia speculates the Philadelphia Eagles would be among the most likely suitors. The Eagles are a sure bet to add at least one WR in the 2020 draft, but they steered clear of older veterans at the position in free agency and would seemingly sign off on Samuel's age and speed. The Panthers, he suggested, could be enticed with a package involving both picks and players -- like former second-round cornerback Sidney Jones.

Thoughts?

I think they are just playing both sides of the Person speculation to make two different stories to fill space. "He's not on the trading block unless someone offers a lot." First a story about him not being up for trade then one to discuss the "but if" all from the same Joe person statement.

Didn't Rodrique say she was certain that the Panthers are absolutely not shopping Samuel? 

[hepcat]

Oh. This again.

Rodrigue was confident they weren't moving him this offseason.

[4Corners]

Oh just another productive player that can help us let’s give him away for a 7th rounder #ThePantherProcess

I love samuel. He can be used in a number of ways out the backfield reverses sweeps and short pass deep passes yac. I hope we dont trade him seeing as he is one of my current favorite players but nothing would surprise me at this point. I wouldn't consider moving him for less than the 2 we got him for.

I agree, but the $3m we signed Roberts to play WR4 though? That's what I'm confused about.

If we decide to move on, I get it. But, I'd much rather see what he could do in Brady's offense than trade him for what we could likely get for him in the trade market considering the incoming WR class. If you're a team, what would you realistically be willing to part with for him? I'm thinking maybe a 4th or 5th? Anything more and I think I'd roll my dice on heading into this draft needing to add a WR.

I think someone would have to really wow us with a trade offer or we would have to get a guy early on in the draft. Maybe both.
 

We aren’t shopping him. Look at Brady’s offense. He wants lots of WRS running layers all over the field. I think Samuel is very much a part of that plan right now.

That was stupid. Again, bidding against ourselves when everyone else was waiting for a historically great WR class.

Exactly. Then you get the rookie contract and the possibility that you strike it right and end up with someone that has more upside than Curtis. Doesnt make sense unless we are also drafting a WR and just want to scrap him for an extra pick. We don’t really have the luxury to spend picks like that.

Well now, I thought Moore was going to Philly

[Snake]

I don't see why you would move him. He's cheap, at a position of need, and want command a ton of picks.
