Would you be willing to trade Chuba?

I'm all for trading Chuba but I would not be expecting anything at all from Brooks in the NFL. View any contribution from him as purely a bonus cherry on top, but I would have different plan A, plan B and plan C at the position before Brooks if we trade Chuba, don't sign Rico, etc.

I would always keep RB on the radar in the mid to late rounds. My goal at RB is try to get as much production out of rookie contracts as possible and avoid paying them.

I had 8 on my list, so yeah I pretty much agree. Everyone else, I am listening to offers.

 

Can't really trade Moton either. His 2 year extension has a 21.5m signing bonus. 

[jtm]

Again, we need to stop trading good players for draft picks.  It is so frustrating as a fan.  

[Pantherxtreme]

Yes.

If they have assurance they can resign Rico

Chuba on the season has played in 6 games and has 282 yards that's 47 yards a game and that was the easy part of the schedule if you extrapolate that for the remaining 9 games that's 705 yards on the season. 

He's a good rotational back but if you can get some compensation via a trade then go for it.

Canales was out here handing out participation trophy in the National Football League and some fans were echoing it, "he wanted to give Chuba a chance to win his starting job back."

The way it works usually when a starter gets injured amd comes back he's giving the starting role back because it's assumed he's better than the backup filling in. There's no way based on Chuba's play before the injury and afterwards (Jets game) Canales or anyone else thought Chuba gave us the best chance to win against Buffalo whereas he got the most snaps and the most carries in the game.

Yes, with a decent line, almost any NFL caliber RB can be a 1,000 yard rusher. We've got talent waiting in the wings and it's a position we are pretty deep at this season.

I like Chuba, but I don't imagine I'd regret trading him while he had value. 

If you use this logic only half the teams in the NFL have a NFL caliber running back.. In 2023 12 RBs rushed for over 1000 yds, in 2024 there were 16.

A RB now has to have 60 yards a game to get 1000 yards on the season. It's not as hard to get to anymore but a lot of teams are also doing RBBC so there aren't as many bell cow backs any more. 

[Basbear]

Id trade about dang near anyone, Panthers have ZERO untouchable players. 

If some bad team wanted to offer three 1st, others mids, and decent player or two for the main man dbrown....... Dbrown you can always come back home when you're ready, enjoy yourself. 

[DeAngelo Beason]

I'd do Chuba and a 5th for a 3rd.  

[countryboi]

Maybe in the off season but right now depth is good. I can’t imagine he is worth much with a brand new contract 

[Captain Morgan]

doubt Morgan would trade one of the dawgs that he's building around.  And if it is a 4th, it will be a late one.  But we'd save over 20 mill on the cap which we could spend on Rico.

I wouldn't do the trade unless we work out a deal with Rico ahead of time, and on a similar contract with Chuba.  Incentive laden but still a reward for his accomplishments.  Our line will be healthy again next year, and we have that mystery back that we spend a second (!) on who may finally be healthy next year.  

   Too many signs point to no trade.  But I'd do it under those conditions.

[Shocker]

I think Chubba is a decent back but I would probably make that deal.  I want to resign Dowdle and this helps that.

[CmC2k]

I'd be open to trading Chuba but not for pennies on the dollar. 

The max we'd be offered is like a 4th or a 5th and that's not enough especially with the dead cap we'd have to eat if we did trade him. 

Chuba ran for 1200 yards last year and has been solid the years before that and I don't think we should just give him away for nothing. 

Now if a team like the Pats come forward with a real offer, I'd be open to listening. 

[Panthro]

Can we get a lb back

[Mr. Scot]

I'm only seeing this story from less than reliable sources, some actually quoting other less reliable sources.

If anyone else has seen this from somewhere legit, I've missed it.
