Panthers are listening to offers for CMC in the same way that I listen to offers for my Mercedes when I take it to the dealership for service.

They give me a price, I hit them with an outrageous counter, we tell each other to fug off, and then go about our day.

Glad I’m not the only one that does that.

Are you actually certain you can get that for Robbie though? 🤔

I'll confess I don't know what the deal is with Akers or why he wants to be traded. Obviously if he's looking for an uncontested number one role, that's not available here.

Evidently the Packers were offering a 6th. I honestly think I'd take any draft capital over Akers who is basically at this point a disgruntled bust of a former 2nd round pick. Collecting other teams' draft busts has worked out predictably for us.

Fair point.

Also with Wentz injured, can't really see much chance of getting Howell.

(not but there was ever much of a chance even when Wentz was healthy)

Posted this the other day, seems fitting to do it again because not trading CMC should be the most obvious thing ever, and this post I didn't even bring up the massive Cap hit we'd take next year for trading him away, yet another reason that trading him would make us less attractive to any new potential HC.........

 

I swear, I really don't understand why people can't seem to figure out how to properly evaluate CMC's future.

Short of Buffalo giving us Cook and 2 Firsts, I'm not even talking to them, dead serious, and here's why.........

With any competent coaching staff, CMC's days as an every down RUNNING BACK are already over, he should and will be relegated to around 10-15 carries a game, max.  He should and will be used in more of a Deebo type of player, he will line up at least 50% of the snaps in a game as a Slot WR, running routes on most plays, taking handoffs on jet sweeps sometimes, and running that as a decoy at other times.

It will keep the wear and tear off his body to allow him to play full seasons while still allowing him a lot of touches each game, and he is already a Pro Bowl caliber Slot WR.  Yes, he is very effective getting 20-25 carries in a game and just wearing down a defense, but it's also what is causing his injury problems, a competent staff will understand this and change how he's used.

When he becomes that role, his contract will look perfectly fine as essentially he's then a top paid WR and we fill in the other 50% of the snaps at RB with players on cheap and/or rookie deals for that team.

There is no good reason that team shouldn't be the Panthers, period.

To a competent HC candidate, who understands how CMC should properly be utilized to maximize his output and decrease injury risk, he is a FAR more attractive piece to recruit a good HC than any fair trade a team is going to offer us.  Even one first by a team in contention, which would fall in the late 20's if not 30's, would be a far less useful piece in said coaching search than the idea of having one of the game's most talented players.

If we trade him, we'll get to see that team get to use CMC for the next 10 years and be possibly the most dangerous weapon in the game during that time.  RB's wash up by 30 because of what it does to their bodies and they don't have CMC's receiving abilities, there is no reason he can't play well into his 30's as he transitions into a full time WR later in his career.

This 100%. MCcaffrey would make Moore and Anderson instantly better as team have to focus defensive resources on stopping him. Then once he is loose in the secondary every touch could go the distance.  Trading him unless he is requesting it make little sense this year at least.

Singletary has proven that he can be productive. Cook hasn't done poo TBH. The pick is the most important thing. Singletary ain't the biggest guy in the world, but Cook is even smaller. Cook's ceiling is probably 3rd-down back. Singletary has at least played every down and has years of NFL conditioning under his belt.

Take a look.

https://buffalowdown.com/2022/05/23/buffalo-bills-devin-singletary-running-back-rankings/

That’s not my point. Singletary’s contract is only through this season. We obviously aren’t making a run this season and should be trading for future assets. Cook is a rookie 2nd rounder with explosive speed. He can be an asset for the future of our team.

I wouldn't trade for the sake of trading unless the haul is just too good to turn down.  CMC stays unless the offer is just ridiculously good.  Moore is in the same boat as CMC.  Burns, I'm 50/50 on.  He's still a liability in the run game and I say he's still better suited in a 3-4 scheme as a OLB.  Plus he's coming up on a massive payday.  Robbie Anderson I would definitely trade, but his contract makes it nearly impossible.  Shaq I would trade too, but I don't see anyone clamoring for him and our LB depth sucks (thanks Snow).

1rst for cmac or multiple 2nds I would do it in a heartbeat. 

2 firsts for Burns I would do in a heartbeat

6th for Robbie I would do in a heartbeat

5th for Shaq in a heartbeat

So does Robbie even play today after Joe Person tweeted that he's definitely on the trade block? His locker room presser after Rhule was fired was so awkward. 

Maybe I answered my own question, didn't realize he sat out Friday

Anderson (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams after not practicing Friday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
