I would love to unload Clausen to the Raiders but let's face facts,it.s not going to happen.

The latest word out is that the Raiders have reached out to free agent QB David Garrard after Jason Campbell suffered a broken collarbone in Sunday's victory.

It was said that Garrard and his agent, Al Irby, plan to discuss the situation and get back to the Raiders on Monday afternoon.Free agent Josh McCown also has been contacted by Oakland.

What brand of glue are you huffing?

Elmer's- It's Non-Toxic.. haha

And to answer my own original question, no personally I wouldn't trade for Clausen. Howver, the Raiders are known to do things other franchises wouldn't. And beyond that, they are trying to win this year.

My original point is that the Raiders are desperately looking into QB options and the Panthers have a QB in Clausen that could potentially play but has no future here.

After this season, Clausen has no trade value with the available QB's coming out. Only time Panthers might get anything for him is now.

If they can't or won't trade him thinking he's better served being a backup, fine. However, he's never active and probably won't be barring injury either this year or maybe again ever here. I just think if I'm the Panthers FO it's something that should be put out there.

And I'm not some bandwagon or Johnny-come-lately fan. I've been a PSL holder since 2004 and have endured the whole of Panther football, good and bad.

We have a true franchise QB now and need to do everything in our power to fill the holes in the team around him. If we can get extra draft picks, great.

If Cam got hurt and we had to go back to Jimmy, we're screwed anyway. Investing much in a backup in pointless in today's NFL. If you lose your #1 QB, your season's shot anyway...

      Jamaree Salyer would be an excellent signing. I hope we are looking at him.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By djp14 · Posted

      The Panthers are Pickett's 5th team in 5 years. Howell's next team will be his 5th. I don't think the league thinks that much of either of them. They're just warm bodies, at this point.

      10 players I wouldn't mind the Panthers signing that are still available:  - CB Nate Hobbs (Packers): Was just released this morning. Could be a very solid nickel upgrade for us.  - CB Kader Kohou (Dolphins): Solid slot corner who shouldn't break the bank and could be an upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade.  - OT Jamaree Salyer (Chargers): Had an underrated year with the Chargers (68.2 PFF pass block grade, 61.5 run block grade) and is still young enough (25) to continue developing.  - OT Jawaan Taylor (Chiefs): Depending on price, could be a good short-term option at LT while we figure things out long-term.  - WR Jauan Jennings (49ers): If we're going to add a FA receiver, I think Jennings makes a lot of sense but the price may be a bit too high for a slot receiver.  - WR John Metchie III (Jets): A cheaper option at slot receiver who has experience playing with Bryce at Alabama. Low risk/high reward type signing.  - WR Calvin Austin III (Steelers): Likely an "in between" option relative to Jennings and Metchie, but another solid option in the slot.  - LB Leo Chenal (Chiefs): I think we'll target another starting ILB in the draft, but we could also opt to pair Chenal with Devin Lloyd and check that need off the list early.  - OC Matt Hennessy (49ers): Could be a decent stop-gap starter at center and solid depth if nothing else.  - OC Andre James (Chargers): Was a backup last year for the Chargers (for some reason; he couldn't have been worse than what they had starting) but was solid for the Raiders the year before.
