the defense and o-line are far bigger areas of concern than WR

$3.9 mill more of salary/cap hit to take on. But, Comp picks are not guaranteed. Will be netted off against who Carolina signs and they likely will be active in free agency.Why just give him away?
Panthers man. Just no hope in sight.
Making it worse if they would have let him walk they would have got 10 more games with him and a better comp pick.
Trade only makes sense if he became an issue in the locker room/in the organization and needed to be jettisoned.
Because he’s more valuable in being lost for potentially nothing and providing Young/Dalton someone to throw to to try and find some stability of offense rest of season, then what they got back.
To eat salary just to move up 10-15 spots in the draft….. team must be out on this guy…..
Ratbirds are a victim of success. They finish well far more often than not, so all the good defensive first rounders are not accessible to them.That secondary is straight ass, they need an upgrade

About time too, because they've been overblessed with success.

To move up 10-15 draft spots from early round 6 to late round 5 and pay most of the remaining salary, means that he wasn't that valued or they wanted him gone. Guess if they are going to be active in FA, then him being a ufa likely won't factor into comp picks for them.They were shopping around the league and this is the best deal they find?
