1. Byrd's value is as high as it's ever been, and probably ever going to be, with the Panthers

2. The Panthers don't need Byrd and Curtis Samuel

3. Carolina is suddenly stacked with receivers and returners

The Panthers obviously shouldn't give a player of Byrd's talents away for nothing.

I can't imagine anyone would trade anything for him. He's done next to nothing. 120 yards in 2 years 

[moresouthernthanyou]

The 35th team in the NFL in RY last year wants to talk to you...otherwise, not gonna happen.  I would guess you are a USC fan.

[Rags]

If anything, the added depth at WR gives him less trade value l. He's really gonna have to show off for a roster spot. If any team wants him that badly, they can just wait for him to be cut.

[Byrdman4real]

Yeah dont think he's valuable for a trade, but could bite us in the ass if relased and picked up inside the division

Nothin but love for the dude just because of the jersey he wears, but he’s JaG.... ain’t done enough for me to feel some kinda way about him not on teh roster.....

Byrd needs to make the most of his opportunities here, what happens after that remains to be seen.

[Mr. Scot]

Unless he were to go seriously nuts in preseason, I don't really see anything much being offered for him.

But then if he goes off in preseason, do you really want to trade him?

No.  So the only way forward for Byrd is to go nuts in preseason.

Maybe we can get a muffin in return for him or something.

Is it bad I’d rather keep Byrd over Samuel? 

[Saca312]

Lol that would be dumb.

Who we should trade is Daryl Williams with his value at sky-high alongside his high probability of regression next year. While all of you want to say “but but all-pro!”, his performance last year truly is overrated by many. He’s had a lot of help.

 

For what it’s worth, he wasn’t as bad as the season progressed near the end (minus his terrible performance in the playoffs tbh), but still nowhere near his all-pro status, let alone being a franchise tackle.

Best you'll get for him is a 7th round pick.  I seriously doubt we are going to get a starter at any position for him.

Honestly, I hope we keep 6 receivers and he is a Panther.   I believe his is in the cusp of being a solid contributor.

I'd rather have him returning punts than putting a starter out there (ie Samuel)

[KillerKat]

He's our punt returner
