Panthers acquired WR Laviska Shenault from the Jaguars.

We're still waiting to see what the Jags got back from the Panthers, though it won't be much. After a promising rookie season, Shenault's numbers were slashed across the board on a per-game basis. Despite a number of injuries hitting the Jaguars' receiving room, Shenault closed the year competing with Laquon Treadwell and Tavon Austin for snaps. A change of scenery will be good for the third-year receiver, though a secondary role on an offense led by Baker Mayfield isn't likely to turn him into a fantasy-viable option. The move does serve to keep the light on for Shenault in dynasty leagues. Once up to speed in Carolina's offense, Shenault should slot in as the Panthers' third receiver.

Haven't seen him play but his numbers aren't God awful. For a late round pick I guess it's worth a shot.

I mean he had 60 something catches and over 600 yards. He can’t be that terrible. He didn’t score last year but had 5 his rookie year. The Jags were a poo show last year so I’ll give him a pass for that. Excited to see what he’s got. I doubt we gave up much of anything to get him, so why not?

Think we will see him bring a physical edge to the offense. Can see him being used near the line of scrimmage blocking and running some hybrid WR/RB looks for us. This move is not an indictment on Terrace Marshall. More worried if I’m Chuba or a fringe TE. He’s probably pretty solid on special teams as well. Would be surprised if we gave up more than a 5th or 6th future pick.

We need hands out of the backfield/gadget as insurance for CMC. Chubs ain’t it. 

I hope thats what this is and that would be ideal.

Edit: 


that 0:35 run oh yeahhh

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
