Robby Anderson being shopped?

[AndrewLaskoski]

I figured Robby would be a candidate for an extension but instead looks like Fitterer was looking to unload him.

This doesn't make any sense.  HIs contract is very reasonable for  1000 yard receiver.... we had just signed Darnold and it would help with his transition.    

I just can't imagine Fit would do this.  I'm not going to believe this until there's evidence otherwise.

I figure it was just to see if anyone would be willing to offer us something stupid. As soon as we drafted Marshall that was basically the writing on the wall for Anderson in Carolina long-term. I'm sure we're very willing to let him play out his contract then let him walk and take the comp pick next year.

Probably just a rumor.

[PandaMan]

He did much better than I thought he would last year and made some great catches.  Thought he was just a deep threat but he’s a complete WR.   Worst part was it seemed like Teddy locked in on Robby too much when other guys were open.  It would’ve sucked to lose him.  I think he’ll have another great year.

It could be the reason Robby Anderson is one of the few players who hasn't shown up to OTAs.

The only reason I could see us not resigning him next year is because DJs in a contract year too, and since he's home grown, younger, and balling, they might not be up to the prospect of paying 2 wide receivers 10+million contracts.

I'd hate to see him go, so I hope it doesn't come to this.

Well, Fitt seems very deal heavy. I wonder what if any offers were made for him. Or what we were looking for in return.

I hope Marshall plays really well(and stays healthy) and we have a replacement for him. I definitely don't want to see Anderson and Samuel leave and not have good replacements.

Man, I sure hope not. 

[Mr. Scot]

It's certainly possible, but I'd need a better source than Walter Football before I'd be willing to take it too seriously.

[Basbear]

Not buying this. I do think ANderson wants a new deal and panthers want to wait. Hes a bargain and turns 30 next year I think. Id wait on him too, Rhule and him seem like they really enjoy each other. I see Anderson testing FA next year and coming back to Carolina after egos by both sides get checked.

Good

Honestly, Charlie Campbell has been historically fairly accurate on that Hot Press feature. Not perfect but he does apparently have some pretty legit NFL sources.

The one thing that makes me ponder the possibility is that if I recall correctly, Anderson is in the last year of his contract with us.

It's not unusual for GMs to try to get something out of a player in his final year if they don't think they'll be able to re-sign him.
