I wouldn't be surprised if they are "listening" to offers because players are simply asking for trades at this point and their agents are being told to go find something that makes sense and we might do it.

woof... thats going to hurt in dead cap. However, we'd probably get a 3rd for Shaq. Just bc he isnt liked in this thread, doesnt mean he isnt worth it to the team that is trading for him. They would be getting a top 10-15 LB for 12 million for 1.5 seasons. 

 

Eagles need LB help... so I could see them calling. They have the draft capital to send out.

You thinking a 3rd?  4rth or 5th is my guess.  Probably 5th

Shaq's base next year is ~$12.2m so it's more like $13m for 1.5 seasons. Dead cap doesn't matter honestly, might as well take the poison in this lost year because he's likely to be cut in the offseason if he doesn't take a drastic pay cut anyway.

I think it might be more that other teams think they're in "fire sale" mode.

They're not, but they'll always listen to see if "an offer they can't refuse" comes down the like.

Shaq isn't bad. Just overpaid. He's a mid tier linebacker but with a top 10 salary. I don't get the vitriol over his contract though. It really hasn't been an issue and I think fans worry about cap hits more than they need to. The linebacker group as a whole isn't way out of line cap wise, and that's how many teams manage capspace, by position group.

I wouldn't trade him for less than a 3rd personally. Either way, he's gone after this year anyways most likely.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
