Another Report: Teams calling Panthers about Curtis Samuel

[WarPanthers89]

Yeah I know, another thread (I created one about another report before the draft), but this seems to be coming up a lot. It will be interesting to see what we do. Posted this morning 15 min ago:

The Panthers have said goodbye to several players from the final years of Ron Rivera’s run as their head coach and other teams are reportedly calling to see if they’ll send another one packing during the draft.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that teams have contacted Carolina about potentially trading for wide receiver Curtis Samuel.

Samuel was a second-round pick in 2017 and is heading into the final year of his rookie deal. He was limited to 22 games over his first two NFL seasons, but appeared in every game last year and posted 54 catches for 627 yards and six touchdowns. He also ran 19 times for 130 yards and a touchdown.

The Panthers signed Robby Anderson, Seth Roberts and Pharoh Cooper as free agents to go with leading receiver D.J. Moore on the wide receiver depth chart.

I mean, he's shown legit potential and took it to the house 6 times last year.  54 627 6 TDs with what we were dealing with last year was solid. 

He still body catches too much but I can see legit value in a trade.

An offer of a 1st next year and I would do it.

It'd have to be a sweet deal. We have no reason to get rid of him unless we just really want to. He has a ton of potential.

2nd this year, replace him with Mims. Samuel would be due for a contract soon and Mims is fast/knows the system.

[Double Trouble]

Can we get a second this year for him? Or are we looking at a third or fourth? I would do it for a second and draft a safety and a corner in round two today. or a DB and Pittman would be nice. Pittman is a stud.

I wonder who is calling?

Absolutely. Honestly I want to see what he does in the new offense, but if someone offered a 2nd or high 3rd I wouldn’t be upset with as many holes as we currently have. It all depends on what we plan to do, if he not In your long term plans, it’s good to go ahead and get value. We do have the Moton contract coming up, and we may not have enough room for a large contract. We could picks up a WR with the 2nd or high 3rd we get in return who could be just as talented and on a 4 year cheap contract. The team has said before that they don’t have any intentions of trading him, but we all know how that goes...

If it's a trade, no less than a second and it needs to be done before 7pm tonight lol....because there are still some decent Wr's available and we will need one

That's why it would need to be a 1st for me to sign off on it.  Anything less and I would just keep him and see how he does in the news offense.  But Hurney gonna Hurney.

Here's the irony of the whole situation: If Samuel is so "average" why are teams interested in trading for him?  It didn't say the Panthers were shopping him, but other teams are expressing interest.  I find it odd Samuel gets dumped on so much, but for some crazy reason other teams are interested in him.  So who's right, the Samuel haters or these other teams?
