4 dream trade targets for the Panthers before the 2021 deadline
By Dean Jones
Which dream targets could the Carolina Panthers possibly look to acquire before the 2021 trade deadline?
The Carolina Panthers find themselves in a precarious situation regarding their aspirations for the 2021 season. There’s been plenty of good and some really bad moments so far, which were both on full display once again during the team’s disastrous defeat at the New York Giants in Week 7.
This leaves the Panthers at 3-4, which could be so much better had they maintained a level of consistency once running back Christian McCaffrey was forced to the sidelines with a hamstring injury.
However, it’s clear that much more is needed to get Carolina into legitimate playoff contention.
All the talk of rebuilding is fine. But the trade move to acquire All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore indicates the organization is looking for success much sooner than expected.
Carolina Panthers don’t have much draft capital to trade.
They don’t have much in the way of draft capital left, but one couldn’t rule out another play from general manager Scott Fitterer before the 2021 deadline on November 2.
Fitterer’s aggressive approach has been a breath of fresh air since arriving from the Seattle Seahawks to replace Marty Hurney. Despite a couple of errors, he’s building a foundation that should stand the Panthers in good stead for years to come.
What comes on the field is equally as important. But all the front office figure can do is provide head coach Matt Rhule and his staff with the tools.
It’s up to them after.
Without further ado, here are four dream trade targets for the Panthers before the deadline.
