Not too long ago, Carolina Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer was reportedly “on the phone every single day” in search of a wideout. Well, that phone may not be as busy now.
ESPN senior NFL insider Jeremy Fowler just dished out quite a few new nuggets about the feel of this year’s trade deadline. Among the chirping is the seemingly active market for the receiver position, which Fitterer and the Panthers may have dipped out on.
Fowler writes:
Wide receiver is a buzz-worthy position entering the deadline. People I’ve talked to believe the Colts, Packers, Panthers and Chiefs have at least monitored the receiver market in recent weeks, though Carolina, sitting at 0-6, might be out, and the Chiefs got their man in Hardman.
Some wideouts who may be available include Las Vegas’ Hunter Renfrow and Denver’s Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy. The Panthers were recently linked to Jeudy, as Benjamin Allbright of KOA Colorado reported that they were “sniffing around” on the former first-rounder.
But with little hope for a playoff push and little draft capital to play around with, Carolina probably won’t be buyers over the next week and a half.
