Is there anyone on this roster you wouldn't trade?

Chinn, Horn, Moton, Shaq, Burns. Shaq really impressed this season and showed up laying the thunder.  We need to move Chinn closer to the line of scrimmage to let him impact more plays.  I think it would help Burns out, as well.  And Moton is literally our only good OL.  Can’t let him go.

Given the right price no one. But at the same time I wouldn’t want to be erratic about trading players when they are not part of the problem. The big issues as pointed out here and everywhere else this team comes up is OL and QB. 
 

That said, does the trade ultimately help you improve these areas without creating an issue elsewhere?  Trades alone will not fix what is broken.  It might make you feel better because doing something feels better than doing nothing but you have to do the right something to reap benefits.

Everybody can go for the right price. 

BUT from an NFL realistic perspective....

+ how hard it would be to find alternative production.

+ Your workers, your grinders, that winning mentality certain players have 

Defense: Chinn(LB), Shaq(Heartbeat), Burns(Still in development. Loses contain but his upside is ridiculous), Reddick (Beast), Horn (Beast), Gilmore(Still a top 15 corner IMO + guidance). 

You keep those 6 alone and surround them with template players and you'll still field a top 20 defense imo. Sadly 2 of those may never wear a Panthers uni again. 

Offense: DJ(consistent production no matter the QB), Moton(consistent protection), CMC (been injury plagued these last two seasons but IF healthy he's more times the not the best player on field including the opponents roster)

But that's just me attempting to talk myself away from the cliff.

Chinn, Horn, Shaq. If you have those three with a solid pass rush then you can build a top 5 defense. 
 

I was a big supporter of trading Burns, Brown, CMC after last year to try and get capital for a QB. If we had done that we’d have a HAUL of picks this year and a TON of cap room. Instead all of their values decreased and we still had a sucky season.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
