REPORT: Panthers interested in trading for Brian Thomas Jr

[Wolfcop]

If it checks out, go for it. He is worlds better than XL and is the deep threat we need. He ran a 4.33 forty time!

You can count me completely out on another rendition of sifting through the Jaguars discards. Been there done that.

I wouldn’t do it.  He was really unimpressive last year.

[Jon Snow]

Why?

[MHS831]

The only way I would trade XL for him is if I was DONE with XL and I thought a new situation might benefit Thomas. In other words, it is better to think you might have a problem in Thomas than to know you have one in XL.   They were drafted at the same spot, fwiw, so the contracts are the same, basically. 

[ForJimmy]

I believe Morgan was high on him during the draft. Yeah I get it though, if one of the better offensive minds doesn’t want him… red flag.

No way they'd accept XL for Thomas straight up. Thomas has actually proven he can be a WR1 despite his down year. We'd prob have to throw in a 3rd as well

He had a higher yards per reception than our starting WRs. 700 yards is pretty good for an off year.

I wish I could play poker against Juan

We already have our #1 and #2 of the future, BTJ isn't the shifty slot WR we need to still add to the room, a move like this would make no sense.

And that's even before factoring in the eyebrow raising factor of why would the Jags want to trade him with 2 more years and a 5th year option left on his rookie deal.  There are clearly things they don't like about his future, so when combined with my first sentence, I'm a hard pass on him.
