Could the Panthers make a trade deadline move? 5 potential targets

Could the Panthers make a trade deadline move? 5 potential targets

As the NFL trade deadline approaches, the Carolina Panthers are considering potential moves to strengthen their roster. With a record of 3-4, they remain in contention for the NFC South title, despite facing the challenge of a competitive division where no team has a winning record. The Panthers' general manager is weighing options, including the possibility of acquiring new players or trading away underperforming assets, while also managing limited salary cap space.

Three players have emerged as potential trade targets for the Panthers: Jackson Powers-Johnson from the Las Vegas Raiders, Will McDonald IV from the New York Jets, and Kimani Vidal from the Los Angeles Chargers. Each player offers unique benefits, such as versatility and experience, but there are concerns regarding their fit within the Panthers' current roster and strategy. Additionally, the Panthers may consider trading away Robert Hunt, a struggling offensive lineman, or Ja'Tavion Sanders, a tight end who has yet to see playing time this season, if the right offers come along.
