Panthers trade for wide receiver Laviska Shenault

[Dave Gettleman's Shorts]

trade likely had to do with chuba being garbage out of the backfield

You could likely go back and say we should have drafted x over y on almost all the players on our team. Also reports are TMJ is safe anyways so you gotta find a new narrative 

The difference is I said so at the time, feel free to look up my post history, and was widely criticized for it. I realize this is often true, yet so many here were sure TMJ represented such a can't miss prospect that it was worth overlooking our beyond obvious need at Oline. 

This isn't a "narrative". This is me making a point about a prior discussion.

The former Jaguars second-round pick adds another option on offense, among a number of young wideouts.

Sure, but Laviska isn't a 6th WR, he's our #3 right now (well maybe in a few weeks once he gets fully up to speed with the playbook and Baker).

My issue isn't with adding Laviska, as I like him as a player, my issue is that we're adding a player that I feel like we already have on the squad.  Not so sure Laviska has any more upside than Shi does, so why give up draft capital to add someone we already have and has looked great in camp this year?

Shi is 5'10 190. Don't think this dude will play the same role as him

I see this as Chubba Hubbard getting cut possibly  and using Cmc and Foreman  as ya main 1 n 2.

well 2nd, 4th and a 6th........ no one can bat 1.000

Did feel like someone else was pushing for it with the whole "I studied their team and became real fond of Sam.."

This thread right now “I don’t know who this player is, so he sucks”

Having just 2 QBs does give us the option of carrying 7 if we wanted.

My guess is that at some point, we will be carrying three qb's (when Darnold gets back).

yeah we took a swing on a top 3 drafted QB when we were ready to move off Teddy. do you even like this team? why are you here?

From Gantt-

The Panthers will send undisclosed draft compensation to Jacksonville in exchange.

Shenault caught 63 passes for 619 yards last year. The 6-foot-1, 227-pounder was the Jaguars' second-round pick in 2020 from Colorado.

Shenault adds another option to a deep receiving room, where the Panthers were looking for a bigger option. His size and blocking ability adds a physical element they didn't have previously.
