Panthers should consider trading Vernon Butler

[My Goodness My Guinness]

No point in trading a guy for a 4th+ just because he is depth. Unless someone offers something of value we pretty much have to hold on to him

[Piff]

He is good depth. He is not a luxury.

[Jeremy Igo]

....yet we still had to blitz constantly last year to get pressure. 

[MechaZain]

His current role on the team is better than any return we could get out of him. It sucks that he isn't living up to his pick but the bust is official if we trade.

It is equally plausible to say that NOT trading him at this point wouldn't be a very good return on investment.  They guy is and will be a back up player.

Having him here doesn't help anyone, including Vernon. 

Such depth at 3 tech is a nice luxury, but luxuries are for complete teams. 

Like I said shoud have drafted Hunter Henry that year.

I gotta disagree. He’s cheap depth and a solid backup if Short got injured

Think that's more on the lack of DE depth past Mario and a nearly 38 yr Pep.

Every year we have no safeties. 

 

Every year we get gashed for huge yards against Atlanta and New Orleans. 

 

And yet, here we are. 

 

I must be taking crazy pills.

Why are people calling him a bust when he doesn’t get the snaps? I actually feel sorry for Butler. He’s stuck behind an all-pro player in KK. I get the thinking behind drafting him. We didn’t know if we could sign KK and he was an insurance policy. We also rotate or d line like crazy because it’s suppose to be the strength of the defense with our patched up secondary.

 Hurney 2.0 is drafting a stud safety to make up for years of stopgaps and abysmal play.

Mike Minter step aside. Hurndawg 2.0 about to draft this young franchise’s GOAT safety.

[TheRumGone]

Trading him makes zero sense unless we can get a secondary player for him. Good luck with that. Doesn’t clear up enough cap to be significant. Takes away a good rotational player who is cheap on a rookie deal.
