Panther Trade Rumors

According to Bleacher Report, we're looking for OL help. I doubt I'd we'd land a top o-lineman at this point in the season but maybe we can get lucky and find an immediate starter(s).

It's not necessarily surprising that Carolina's offensive line is struggling. The Panthers have not used a first-round pick on an offensive lineman since 2008 when they selected Jeff Otah. The franchise has also only taken three O-linemen in the second round since then. 

Wow. That is the recipe for what we have now.

Yeah, that's a worthless blurb...  Fitt said in the Gilmore presser that had been calling everywhere looking for OL help and specifically said teams weren't even willing to part with backups - which made me think about Detroit specifically.  There's no way he hasn't called them about Decker.  Which also tells me that chances are, it's not happening.  We've been looking and quality OL is a league-wide problem.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
