REPORT: Panthers will not trade Chuba Hubbard

[frankw]

I like Hubbard. I'd prefer to keep him but not at max value. On the idea of trading him I just don't know what we would get that would make it some sort of must make deal. There have been some good players right now going for 3rd round picks at best. I want more picks too but a mid to late rounder isn't moving the needle much. If that's all we're looking for then get something for Thielen and Johnson. This isn't a one draft solution situation regardless. It's going to take at least a few really solid drafts to even get close to where we need to be.

Honestly you need 2 good backs,  it not easy to come across as it seems. I hope we find a way to keep chuba, if not then oh well.

Your 2 best offensive players being pending FA on the worst team in the league.

Who got it worse than them panthers?

This team just spent a shi* ton of $ on the offense. Coming due are contracts on a starting quality NFl QB who still has a lot of gas in the tank,  a legit #1 WR, and a RB who has been killing it. 

Does anyone truly think we can retain all 3 while not murdering our cap #? Priority has to go Andy then Johnson then Chuba.

Will Andy require ‘please don’t go’ type money? He won’t want a rental contract. Someone will offer him 3 years for a lot of $. Promise you. This has been a showcase year for him.   Can we beat that if we’re tied to the other 2? 

I love Chuba but once Brooks (hopefully) starts getting some snaps, his time is limited. I LOVE how he has developed. You take a second + a defensive starter (if a team is that desperate) and don’t look back. 

Bryce cap hit in ‘25 is $10 million. In ‘26 it’s $12 million. We HAVE to find a team willing to eat that. 

Morgan and co are in a tight spot.

Eh I think we should come to the realization that Andy Dalton is not that coveted. He's certainly better than Bryce Young but he's a boom or bust aging veteran. If he wants big money then he can show himself out.

I also tend to lean toward the conclusion that the huddle is overrating Johnson to a degree. The Steelers are doing just fine without him.

Who in the world is giving us a 2nd and a player for a running back that has yet to add a 1k rushing season to his resume and is due his first big contract?

It's as good a time as any for us as Panthers fans to be as realistic as possible about the players on our roster no matter how much we like them.

I'm pretty sure we can sign Andy for about $100.00. Dude is old. Andy should be in a retirement home soon.

Imagine thinking Chuba is worth a 2nd+ on the trade market or that he will get a 5 year 60m contract on the open market.....lol

Chuba is probably worth a 4th or 5th and he will be had for like 6-7 mil a year.

Am I the only one here that thinks we should see if Brooks can even play in the NFL before we ship Chuba off lol?

yea man. A lot of people are assuming a dude with limited college snaps coming off an ACL is going to be good enough for us to trade away the engine of our offense.

If we trade Chuba, watch Brooks shred his knee again in his first NFL game

[45catfan]

Dumb move.  Take advantage of other team's desperation.  We can easily replace him in the offseason.  Simple example of supply and demand.  If he has a demand now, take advantage of it instead of letting him test FA and likely still going elsewhere.
