    Panthers have no picks to trade; they’d have a better shot at Higgins if they throw the bank at him in FA, assuming he gets there

      Why? Then we would be talking about how the Panthers have no pass rush and were stupid to trade away Burns.

        Burns is great but he’s not Garrett/Watt/Bosa good, and that’s the money he’ll command. I think he’s far better off on a team that already has a good chunk of DL talent and/or a star player on the line already, like y’all with Donald, which is why the 2 FRP rumor kind of made sense.

          He’s one tier below, but still those guys don’t tend to make it to the open market and are extremely hard to find. I would have been ecstatic if we got burns for 2 first rounders but I don’t think that would have been a good trade for you guys.

          All in all I think good WR play is much easier to find in free agency than good pass rush. So I think you’re better off trading away Moore than you are Burns, even if it takes a few years to build an offense.

    This sounds like the type of non-story that the team intentionally leaks.

    “See, we’re trying!!!”

    Notice the complete lack of details. What were the Panthers offering? Which players/picks were discussed?

      “See, we’re trying!!!”

      Trying to do what, cripple this team even more? The Panthers should be trying to acquire picks, not give them up. If anything, this story makes the FO sound even more incompetent if true

      Is it even that? WR is a pretty low priority. I have to imagine fans would prefer an actual defense or Oline before they start trading for star receivers.

      If you told me three years ago Devante was going from the Packers to the Raiders that he’d retire as well but we were all surprised

    I would’ve killed to see the face of Adams

    Ziegler: Hey Adams you’re being traded

    Adams: Fuck yeah! Thanks so much! Where am I going?

    Ziegler: Carolina.

    Adams: ?

    It’s not fair to blame Davante for buying JMcD’s bullshit. They gave up the draft capital, they had the QB he always wanted. They gave him a $140M, $60 sum million guaranteed.

    Then Josh goes and does whatever he was thinking, why? Idk. Carr ain’t great. But to call Jimmy G better than Carr is total crap. He is at most equal to Carr in skill. The change from Carr to Jimmy G was a lateral move, at best.

    JMcD trades away the teams best assets, changes the entire make up of the team, and leaves it in total disarray.

    Can’t blame Carr or Adams for that.

      This is the second time McDaniels has gotten a coaching job, and immediately blew up the offense, getting rid of an established starter. Maybe hes just not real smart.

      I don’t understand this thinking.

      Almost all of us in Packers land saw this coming. Carr was already on the hot seat when they traded for Davante.

      Everyone joked that Davante wouldn’t be happy and look what happened.

        The plan was Davante + offensive genius coach should have gotten Carr off the hot seat. Great theory…

    Fitt was desperately trying to sink our future even more to salvage his job.

    If McDaniels had traded Adams to the Panthers there would be a warrant out for his arrest on charges of football terrorism

    I don’t find that the slightest but surprising. We knew that they were looking for a top WR, and those are two of the best that seemed like they could have been available.

    I’d be curious to know if they were able to make any sort of reasonable offer and what that might have looked like.
