Notable players who could or should be traded before the deadline

Burns is mentioned along with Chinn (which I can understand) and Frankie Luvu (which would shock me) as players The Panthers could potentially trade away.

Other team options I find interesting:

Danielle Hunter

Realistically, about the only way this likely happens is a straight up swap with Brian Burns. That deal only makes sense though if you think Hunter can be had for a more reasonable contract than Burns. He's arguably better, but also older, so it's debatable whether this makes sense.

As far as pass rushers, Frank Clark is also mentioned as a candidate to be shipped out of Denver, but I'm not that interested in him. Carl Lawson and Chase Young are named as possibilities also.

Garrett Bolles

If you're one of the people who believes that Ickey Ekwonu would function better at guard, then getting a solid pass blocking left tackle makes sense. It's also pretty clear Bolles wants out of Denver, but the question there would be what they'd want in return.

For the record, I'm not of the mind that Ekwonu needs to be moved to guard, but If the team insists on sticking with their current blocking scheme, It might become something to think about.

Wide Receivers

Several names are mentioned here including Cortland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, Mecole Hardman, Hunter Renfrow, Marquise Brown, Darnell Mooney,  Kendrick Bourne and Juju Smith-Schuster. Most believe the Panthers are looking for a number one type deep threat, but I'd suggest someone with speed and reliable hands doesn't necessarily need to be a deep threat if they can catch short passes and tile up RAC yards like a typical WCO receiver would.

There is also one tight end listed, Hunter Henry. Don't know that the Panthers are in the market for someone like that but I include his name here because it's at least possible.

_________________________

One final note: I know general speculation has been that the Panthers are in the trade market for at least a receiver, but I've also seen that report disputed by reliable sources. I know Dan Morgan had mentioned a while back that the team isn't really looking to trade away draft picks right now. Has that changed? Unknown.

 

Yeah, I know it's been discussed but unfortunately #1 WRs aren't available unless they want a big contract or are disgruntled with their situation and we are not a better situation.

I'd like to see us trade for some talent to surround Bryce with.

Positive Spin: If he's our QB, I'd like to bolster his confidence by giving him a reliable target.

Pragmatic Spin: I want to know how much his receivers not getting open/not getting separation has to do with how poorly he's performing. Again, I want to get to "bust" as fast as possible so we can move on, and consequently, I want to get out of this season with as few question marks as possible. If he's not him, we need to know so we can move on rather than sinking more into propping him up.

Bears will not trade Mooney. The rest I get. He’s one of Fields best friends, they had an off game this week but he’s also open a lot. So they’ll link up more here soon. If the offense is finally starting to click once they dumped Claypool they aren’t going to make any other big changes on offense and Mooney is their third option behind Moore and Kmet.

      to all the Low-T Betas crying about "do we want to win" / "we'll get embarrassed the next week"

      I mean, this year we should've easily been a playoff team in my opinion. We should have easily had two or three more wins--at least one--had not Bryce crapped the bed. But let's be serious about human nature and what we know about our FO. I wouldn't bet the farm that Bryce will be anything but the defacto starter in 2026, because (inconsistent though it was) we have exceeded expectations this year, and some in the FO probably believe, rightly or wrongly, that Bryce is at the center of that. You know, piece of bread seems like a meal if all you've had is a cracker. That being said, Bryce has shown plenty of inconsistency if not a downright pattern of flaws. He's a third year QB, and some, if not most, of his metrics aren't pretty. It could be argued that he should be further along (for me it's not really arguable). So, hopefully the decision makers will acquire a couple of plan Bs. I would hate it and love it if we identified "our guy" in the draft, and that it was somehow achievable to acquire him with a couple of high draft picks or even less. But we already pulled the trigger on Bryce with arguably awful results, so that's got to make the decision makers a little skittish to repeat a mistake that should be still fresh on everyone's mind. That being said, I think that it's more likely that we acquire a player like Mac Jones, Malik Willis or Trey Lance in free agency, and also target a day two or day three developmental pick in the draft with some real upside. That pick for would be Drew Allar who should slide to day three (I'm thinking). I think that this is more realistic than them releasing Bryce from his starter's role from the get-go, or someone just flat out playing themselves definitely into the starter's role by the time the season begins.  Now, again, if we can find "our guy" that changes the narrative and is expected to be the starter from day one, I'd be excited, if not downright ecstatic, but I don't think that's a realistic expectation.  Getting back to the team in general, If we don't make some improvements, including QB, I wouldn't bet that we'd necessarily be a playoff team next year, because, the rest of the NFCS is likely to improve next year. I don't expect that teams in our division will be necessarily able to "backdoor" themselves into the playoffs next season. So we're going to have to hit on at least a couple of picks, get healthy along the line, and fundamentally change the way we're calling plays because lightning probably isn't striking twice. I'm hoping that we'll have a real breakthrough season by 2028, because this season and next season aren't likely to be it because removing ball-and-chains ain't easy unless you got the key, and It's still gonna take some time to find it.
