The 2-7 Carolina Panthers may be hot off of doubling their 2024 win total—and matching their 2023 win total as well—but that doesn’t mean they are going to let nascent discussions of the playoffs distract them from the long term plan for rebuilding this team.
Years and years and years of bad drafting have left the team talent poor and desperate for contributors on rookie contracts. That means they could well be sellers at the trade deadline. You’ll find plenty of people online telling you that the team isn’t moving anybody and plenty more that any contract not nailed down will be gone by Wednesday.
