Chad Forbes: "If DJ Moore plays for the 2020 Panthers, I'll be surprised"

It’s not that far fetched, Rhule doesn’t see him as a number 1. He’s a number 1. He might ask for a trade, it may not happen until next year. But getting something for him instead of letting him walk as a UFA in 2022 seems plausible. 

When has Rhule suggested this?

I have been a fan of this offseason, but trading Moore would be one of the dumbest moves in this franchise's history.

And that is saying something.  We'd need a 1st round pick in return at least.

Moore is a great route runner and is perfect fit for Joe Brady offense.  Let me rephrase it... he’s the only good route runner wr on Carolina team.  Robby Anderson will move safeties up which gives Moore even more freedom in the middle.

I hope we keep him. That dude is gonna be special if he can build on last season. He could pull better than Thomas numbers in the right offense if he can avoid any more concussions.

Also Rhule tried recruiting DJ Moore at Temple.  I don't see any reason to believe Rhule doesn't think highly of Moore.

It was a while back. There’s a post on it but I can’t remember exactly when Rhule said it. At the time it was widely assumed it was for motivation. But signing a Rhule homer brings me to question it again.

It seems people are just throwing things out there like we are trying to get rid of our entire roster. No reason whatsoever to get rid of a young player on his rookie contract who is playing well.

[CPcavedweller]

Because we signed Robby Anderson they believe DJ Moore is gone? DJ Moore is twice the complete receiver of Anderson. Anderson may be a more traditional deep threat than Samuel but I can't see any of them being gone. 

Honestly, what I'm visualizing right now is an attempt to look like the Chiefs and 49er's in terms of the speed on the field. Brady is going to run a mix of those two schemes to get wide open lanes.

6th Round Draft Pick: Darrynton Evans (App State)

So we get philly 1rst?

If any receiver is getting moved it's Curtis Samuel. DJ Moore is legit. Samuel has been a gadget player at best.

[Smithers]

Lol.  So we spend 20 million to sign a WR who hasn’t put up numbers nearly as good as Moore, who is still on a cheap rookie deal, and then trade him?  Uhhh...OK Chad.  

[Chief Keek]

Oh great another "NFL insider" who doesn't have the slightest clue what teams are doing and just throws poo at the wall to see if it sticks.

agreed. Moved or doesn't make it to final roster 

[LinvilleGorge]

I don't see why the Panthers would trade him unless their hand was forced. I do understand why he might demand a trade though.

[OneBadCat]

Well we got rid of Cam so anything is possible at this point
