Kaye: Panthers not likely to be "sellers" at trade deadline

[Mr. Scot]

If you want a better return, you act like you don’t need to sell.

Yeah I just don't see them tearing it down at .500 given the context around this season.  Makes no sense for any of the human decision makers involved.

Well we excell at doing what makes no sense

[Khaki Lackey]

I mean, we don't have a lot worth selling so there's that.

[Moonraker]

We don't have anyone worth moving that wouldn't set us back another few years.

A good GM is always looking to upgrade the roster--a fire sale?  No.  But if there is a LB there who can tackle and cover....

I would argue that the WR room looks solid and is not expensive right now.

The OL is probably not an area to tinker with.

RB?  I am a believer in the premise that you do not give RBs lucrative second contracts in most cases--so if we can trade a Hubbard to get a decent LB---I say, YUP.  We ride the Rico hot hand, Etienne is a good reserve, and Brooks MIGHT be able to play in 2026.  Smart move to lose a little and gain a lot.

My sleeper trade prediction?  A TE--maybe Tremble.

I can't sign on to trading Hubbard while I believe he still isn't fully healthy (so can't be properly evaluated) and Dowdle is only on a one-year deal. 

Also don't trust in Brooks at all.

I agree.  I don't see the urgency to do anything at the RB position.

I didn’t think you could really trade an injured player. 
I can’t know, but can’t dismiss Chuba possibly being less that 100%. 
Although, if you have no intention of trading said injured player, you could use him to spark discussions with teams that may lead to another player entering the mix. Technically. 
 

edit: yes it would be foolish to put any value in Brooks. He is pure gravy if he happens.

I can see that, but there are quality backs coming out every year. There are backs in FA that become available every year. As much as I have praised Chuba and think that he's a solid back, he's not special. He's certainly not special enough for me to lose any sleep if he's traded.

I'd trade Chuba for a solid LB in a hot second. Just being honest.
