Rumor was the eagles were interested

Not sure if there's anything to it. Evidently they really liked him in the draft but for all we know they liked him in the draft but they may have liked him as a LB for all we know. I think it's just connecting dots between their biggest need (safety), us not really using Chinn, and them having liked him in the draft. I just don't think Chinn fits their defense as a safety. They generally play two high safeties.

I think Fitterer put that out there to drum up interest. He tried last year too with Marquis Haynes. 

I doubt any team will trade for any Panthers players 

I think burns is our only tradeable option and if it’s not LAs offer from last year (doubtful now) they aren’t trading him.

Chinn is 2 inches taller and 9 lbs. lighter than Thomas Davis when both did the combine.  I know inside backers in a 3-4 are expected to be a little bigger but I'd love to roll the dice with Chinn has a full time backer.

Shaq is 6 foot and 229.

Luvu is 6'3 and 236.

I can't imagine Chinn could not put on 10-15 lbs of solid mass from his combine numbers.

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
