The Carolina Panthers have made one of their biggest splashes of the offseason so far, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. Carolina traded five-time Pro bowl guard Trai Turner to the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for two-time Pro bowl offensive tackle Russell Okung on Wednesday.
Okung is set to make $13 million in base salary next season. He will then be a free agent in 2021. In the meantime, Turner is set to make $8.5 million in 2020 and $11 million in 2021.
This deal is rather intriguing, and not necessarily in a good way.
