Scott Fitterer & Co. thought they knew better than the Jags and decided to flip a 2022 third round pick — a valuable selection where starters can be drafted — plus veteran tight end Dan Arnold in exchange for Henderson and a fifth round pick. This trade has not aged well.

I mean, we TECHNICALY got a starter in that trade for Henderson.

He's not a good starter, but he starts.

From Mike Kaye...

Although Henderson has made the occasional highlight play for the Panthers, he has yet to carve out a permanent starting role in the secondary. He will look to earn that job under his third NFL coaching staff this season.

While Henderson’s option was declined, he could still earn a second deal with the Panthers with a strong 2023 campaign.

The Panthers passed up the opportunity to select a cornerback in this past weekend’s draft. The squad also failed to bring in a veteran cornerback during free agency.

Both decisions put Henderson in prime position to earn an important role in Evero’s system.

Reasonable to guess that Evero had input on those decisions as well.

Henderson is the classic example that he has all the tools and traits but does he have the heart? I believe that was his biggest knock in the draft process coming out of Florida.

By the way, Rhule was behind the Henderson/Darnold trade--he based his decision on the college film he watched on CJ and not the Jags film--by his own admission, if you recall. 

I am interested to see how they use Jammie, to switch gears.  I doubt he was drafted to sit behind Chinn, Bell, and Woods. 

this was at a time that rhule had control of the roster (which was a REALLY bad idea). Darnold was the only option for a  QB that rhule had any knowledge of and that was only because he interviewed there.

I'd imagine there qre probably a fair number of Rhule era "WTF" stories we still haven't heard yet.

Henderson has made an occasional very good play but the bulk of my memory of him is getting burned for TDs

Great point--I had forgotten that.

I read an article that basically described Evero's 3-4 (and so much could be  based on the personnel he had in Denver).  Basically, the Safeties are the studs of the secondary, and the CBs on the outside play a zone.  Maybe he thinks Henderson can handle that.

Every day Scott Fitterer looks more and more out of his depth. From Cat Scratch Reader:

Ouch.  Fitterer being the genius that traded for Sam Darnold too.  

Well if it goes badly this year Fitterer is next on the chopping block. So we’ll see.

Henderson will provide a good confidence booster for Damiere Byrd throughout camp
