Mortensen: Panthers interested in Umenyiora


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

On tonight's edition of ESPN Radio's "Football Tonight", Chris Mortensen brought up the topic of a possible Osi Umenyiora trade.

He stated that he had heard of three teams, one of them the Panthers, that were possibilities.

No more details than that, but the tone of the discussion was one of "informed speculation" rather than just "they might take him".

How seriously to take it? Unknown. Mortensen's "reports" aren't always reliable. And there was no discussion of what the Giants might want in compensation.

If it happens, I wouldn't look for it until after the draft.

Considering the level of talent at WR that has been moved this offseason and what they were traded for, no way I'd give up a 3rd for Osi. 4th or 5th, I'd be all over it, and I wouldn't think the Giants would expect much more than that. That would be an awesome pick-up...

Although I think Charles Johnson getting increased or full-time reps is gonna surprise some people.

Yup saw this on Twitter. I wouldn't be opposed to getting him for our 3rd rounder.

I wouldn't argue that a third is good value Umenyiora (I'd prefer lower, but it's probably a fair offer).

Still, I have to say I really don't want to see them trading away any of this year's picks for any veteran, honestly.

In my mind, the best thing they can do with this draft is get a solid group of young players to throw into the mix.

Once the draft is over, if you want to look at other options or future picks, as long as it's not too high a pick.

Mort isn't always wrong. I'm not sure I'd even classify him as often wrong.

But with that said, he's not a guy I take as seriously as, say, Jay Glazer.

Well I don't think he's really saying anything from sources or whatever. I think he's just looking at teams with a need for DE, and a pick valuable enough to attain Osi.

Personally don't see it happening, but you never know.

He made it sound like it was actually based on something more than just pure speculation, but overall it was ambiguous.

It's worth discussing because it actually makes some sense for both parties. But like I said in the opening, I don't know how seriously to take it as a "report".

    • I said the conservative play calling was because Canales doesn't think we can win shootouts. Yes, I did say part of that was because of the young, inexperienced receivers and that the OL is better suited for run blocking. I should have also included Young as part of the reason as well but I was responding to the post concerning "young receivers" and Thielens' absence. I am not so enamored with Young that I think all his problems are simply because of the receivers. I do think they overpaid for him and he has not lived up to the cost. He has had his struggles, as does pretty much every rookie qb thrown into a bad situation. But I have seen enough good things to have hope that he continues to get better. The OP is just pointing out how his performance late in the games when the game is on the line is one of those good things.  
    • I think it goes both ways  It could be they are used to pocket passers, not someone who constantly has to create throwing zones for himself with pocket movement  point being, whether it is Young or the receivers or the sun or the moon or the wind, can’t win in the nfl without the threat of a downfield attack
