Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

You mean, no more recipes for squirrel jerky or racoon kabobs?  Nooooooooooo!!!

Dude has been nothing but a sideshow since he's been here.  I'm cool sending him packing for the right price.  Maybe he has a Ted Ginn Junior path where he clearly he's not lived up to the early hype and could figure it out later in his career.  We don't have the time for that kind of patience with him.

I don’t hate XL. I kind of like the aw shucks country thing.  But the problem is (iMO) he has talent and is unable to put it together when it matters at game time. We already have one huge “shows promise but hope he can put it together” project on offense. Don’t need another one.

What has become of Xavier Legette and Jonathan Brooks today in not only the same draft but in rounds 1 and 2 (and traded UP for both) is difficult to overlook with the current needs we have across the roster present day. Makes the shoe shining for the FO some insist on even more bewildering.

Physically hes a grown ass man between the ears im not so sure that's why it might take time 

That doesn’t change, ever. You don’t get smarter IQ wise, you just don’t. It was a stupid, risky pick and he was old and only had one good year. You don’t take that risk when you have stud Cs and CBs just sitting there. Then again we decided a RB coming off a late ACL was worth a 2nd the year before a huge RB draft class. XL is turning 25 this year, if he’s not smart enough, what does another year buy you? Just the playoff run with a healthy Coker and TMac’s rookie year were enough to show that XL isn’t in the same ballpark as those 2.

I seriously doubt he has much value. We got lucky that Jerry Jones randomly had a draft crush on Mingo. Getting a 4th for Legette is probably impossible

Never say never...

Didn't we say the same thing about Jonathan Mingo? and yet the Cowboys traded for him

Didn't we say the same thing about Greg Little? The Dolphins traded for him. 

I am just saying, value wise, I feel like Legette offers slightly better value than both of them.

There will be offers due to his size speed combination and rookie deal

Exactly. The question will be how big an offer will another team make?

Well, if they are trading him, Morgan got good value for AT. Good value for the misfit locker room cancer Johnson, didn’t he? 
Pretty good value for the 7th rounder he swapped to Seattle for Jackson. 
That doesn’t guarantee anything but it is worth noting.
