Would Trading Shaq to Seahawks Be An Option?

As far as his contact being untradeable, are you guys factoring in the fact that we are responsible for his entire signing bonus? Whichever team trades for Shaq essentially gets him at 4 years, $40 million, completely unguaranteed. Not a bargain but a reasonable price for a starting linebacker especially if you think you can get more out of him in your scheme with better players around him. Not sure it makes much sense for the Panthers since we probably can't expect more than a late round pick, would be stuck with about $13 million in dead cap spread out over this year and next, and be even thinner at possibly our weakest position. But no I don't think it's crazy to think a team in contention would entertain a 5th or 6th at least, knowing it'll be at the end of the round to boot.

My conclusion exactly actually reading the contract, something 95% of the posters didn't but that did not stop them from "knowing" his contract is untradable. 

And some even after you posted this. 

The world we live in I guess...

You do realize that his base salary is still:

2021: $10.18 mil

2022: $11.2 mil

2023: $12.36 mil

There are not going to be many teams lining up to pay that and certainly not many willing to trade significant draft capital to do it. Couple this with the fact that the salary cap is projected to retract next season. So, where in your mind does that all of a sudden make underperforming and overpaid players valuable on the trade market? That makes no sense whatsoever.

Yes, but non of it is guaranteed. 

At this point a trade is about $3M for the rest of 2020 for an above average lb. Then you cut him with no dead cap. Worthy of a high or even mid round pick? Of course not. But tradable? Very.

I would question him being an above average LB but you are correct. It isn't guaranteed but, as you say, it probably doesn't make a lot of sense to trade much in draft capital for a one year rental. I will back off the "untradeable" statement and say that it is possible that he could be traded but the scenarios involved are very unlikely.

      Some people have been beaten down so long they have no standards. Can't be reasoned with.

      Getting better, might be fairly charitable. We finished 1-3 with the pressure on. That is for sure not trending up.  I don’t see a clear run of performances that prove he has taken it to another level. Not yet.  I would say he played really well in the WC game. And folded on that last series where we still had a chance. I think he threw one good ball. That last series is the kind of thing a player is supposed to learn from and not repeat. We have to see him do it before we can credit him for doing it.    I would also say he has not done enough of playing at his ceiling and what we should expect as the game in game out norm is still not established.  We gonna get MNF in SF or we gonna get the WC game? Seattle or Atlanta yardage record?   Besides that he has three years of horrendous play to start the season hanging over him. Are we going to get that again or will he be over that? We can’t know that. Mind you, that isn‘t two of three it is three of three he has yet to play well to start the year as a pro. Ofer.    So, many questions remain.    As far as weapons and help… said it before. Fix the OL so we can protect him.  It is time for a 1.1 pick in his 4th season, third year in the same offense, to elevate the players we have given him. You can’t keep up the level of investment dedicated to propping him up, you have to prop up the defense too and get some balance.

      Yeah, just got back to the house from doing some actual work, hopefully they create some better chances in the second half. 3-1 looks tough for you
