Quote

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.

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.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
