not sure there is such a thing as good return for a RB.   It's just too easy to find runners for teams to give up a lot.  

[CarolinaNut]

LOL

There were Chuba Hubbard rumors everywhere yesterday. One “insider” claimed he was a done deal to the Patriots. You can’t believe anything trade wise this week. Everyone is trying to be like Rickey

[Shotgun]

He's too good to play for the panthers. We should trade him for a 6th or something.

[LinvilleGorge]

It'd be the most Panthers thing ever though to end up trading Rico to the Pats after they call to ask about Chuba assuming we wouldn't want to trade Rico for the same price they were willing to pay for Rico. Conversation like...

Hey, we wanted to call to ask about the possible availability of Chuba.

Well, maybe what were you thinking?

Say... a 4th?

Well, we really like Chuba. Not sure we'd take a 4th... what about Rico?

A 4th is all we want to part with.

Yeah, Rico for a 4th. That's what we're offering.

Oh wow! That's WAY better than what we were thin... I mean, yeah I guess we could do that if you insist on not moving Chuba *sound of raucous cheering and bottles popping in the background*

4th round pick would be a nice return 

[Captroop]

If we do, we're officially giving up our very dim playoff hopes. 

I don't think its' a terrible idea. He's probably not staying after this year. His value is red hot. If we wanted to move a piece to a contender, now is definitely the time.

...But I kinda think I'd rather have him.

I would be highly skeptical Rico is worth more to another team than us right now. Chuba makes more sense for us to trade.

Because it makes sense for the Panthers to move a RB this week. Outsiders just aren't as intimately familiar with the Panthers as we are so they would assume we'd do the logical thing and trade the lesser RB with the worse contract. But this is Tepper's Panthers. We know that doing the logical thing is rarely on the table.

Trading our good players is what Panthers do best.

Meh.  Give me another 9 games of Rico.
