Panther Shopping for Number 1 caliber WR, Top Priority

[Swirly]

It’s hard just knowing we could have kept McCaffery and Moore. Traded Burns for 2 1st round picks instead and used those as a way to move up. All while keeping all the picks we gave up.

The problem is he's probably the most realistic option for us.

Higgins - I don't think the Bengals are ready to trade him and I don't think we have what they'd want for him anyways (likely a first)

Adams - He doesn't want to lose, he doesn't want to come here

Evans/Godwin/London/Pitts - Bucs/Falcons aren't trading them in division

Hollywood Brown - Don't think the Cardinals want to trade him plus picks for someone like Burns (which is the trade I'd like to make for a WR if possible)

Sutton - Don't think the Broncos would trade him over Jeudy

Pittman - Don't think the Colts are trading their top WR and hinder the development of their rookie QB (shocking notion, right?)

Those are really the only players I could think of right now other than Jeudy that could be looked at as possibly #1's and also possibly available. 

My preference would be to trade Burns to the Lions for Jameson and a 1st, but I don't think they'll do that with having to pay Hutchinson after next season.  After that it's Burns for Higgins and a 1st or 2nd + something else, but also don't see them doing that either, think they want picks for Higgins.

Hence my fear that the only/best option is Jeudy and we're going to be desperate and give up something stupid only for it to blow up in our faces.

 

The Panthers pretended a committee RB the Eagles didn’t want because he wasn’t diverse enough….was a major add.  They called this an all star staff.   A plug in QB roster. 
 

so when the Panthers say they are all on a big time WR….they are probably talking about some random practice squad type.  There scale is different.

Hell no!

 

Kupp is injury prone.

i agree that would be dumb. We would only be after a WR under 27...id hope.

I would watch out for Adams. Raiders are in the market for an edge rusher and JM’s seat is warming up.

If that deal were to occur... it could not be straight up... we would get assets in return. Adams for Burns is a one sided deal.

The end of hurney 1.0 was cam newton and luke kuechly 

We got Cam Newton because he built the worst team in the NfL 

Trading a 1st for Everett Brown

33rd overall pick for Armanti Edwards

Drafted Clausen in the 2nd rd

paid 2 RBs, and actually at one point had TWO of the 5 highest paid RBs in the NFL

yeah that worked out well dint it ?

Sure did. Pretty sad that Fitterer handed that guy the bag and his biggest highlight in a Panther's uniform was "what's that bear doing"

rumors are that Chase might be available if the Bengals throw in the towel on the season and bench Burrow. It would allow MHjr to fall into their lap and they wouldnt have to fork out a 40 million dollar contract to a WR

Bengals really wouldnt have any leverage unless there were competitors. Especially if they dont turn this season around. They will most likely have a mini fire sale right before the trade dealine. They dont have an easy path to a winning record or even .500 record before the trade deadline.

Fitts ain't done yet. He's already rivaling that and is just now hitting his desperation phase. Hold on to your butts...

CMC is on record claiming at the time he was shocked and angry they traded him.
