—The Carolina Panthers have a deal in place to trade offensive guard Trai Turner to the Los Angeles Chargers for offensive tackle Russell Okung, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Turner, a 26-year-old guard with two years left on his deal, is being sent straight up for the 31-year-old tackle.
If the Panthers aren’t intentionally tanking, they are unintentionally tanking.
Something I’ve said for months on Stick to Football and Twitter is that many sources around the league think the Panthers will attempt to “tank” for Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) in the 2021 class. Moves like this one make it hard to imagine they’re trying to win in 2020.
With the amount of money fans spend on tickets to NFL games, the very thought of a team tanking is unjustifiable.
You’re not going to get Cam to be complicit with “tanking” because that destroys his chances of getting another starting job too.
