Trade Deadline Discussion: Panthers Players Who Could Be Moved

[Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D.]

I know the trade deadline is still a long way off, but with the Panthers sitting at 1–2 and not looking like playoff contenders, I wanted to take a realistic look at players we could potentially move. Honestly, it was harder than expected to find tradeable talent, that is, either guys underperforming or players on the final year of their deal. Here’s the short list I came up with and what I think their market value might be:

Player	Position	Age (2025)	Contract Status	Estimated Trade Return
Xavier Legette	WR	23	Rookie contract (team control but underperforming)	Late 3rd–early 4th if buyer believes in upside; 5th floor
D.J. Johnson	DE/OLB	26	Rookie deal through 2026	5th–6th round; toolsy pass rusher with cheap control but low production
David Moore	WR	30	Expiring after 2025	6th–7th round depth rental
Nick Scott	S	29	Expiring after 2025	6th–7th round depth/ST
Akayleb Evans	CB	26	Expiring after 2025	6th–7th round if CB injuries hit contender
James Mitchell	TE	26	Expiring after 2025	6th–7th round late flier for TE depth

Who the fug is trading anything for David Moore or Nick Scott?

If I could get someone to offer a third for XL I'm taking it with no hesitation.

I honestly tried so hard, looked at all the players on the final year of their contracts, not likely to be resigned, could bring us anything in return.   Not a long list.  Had to remove people like Renfrow, Jansen, Corbett, as they are all very unlikely to be moved. Brady Christensen and Yosh Nijman were thoughts, but I felt their value was too high for us to part with.

We need to be adding not subtracting before the trade deadline. ILB is obviously choice.

Unless someone stupid enough to give us value for any of those names you mentioned

Player for player trades have typically worked in our favor!
