DE/OLB Marquis Haynes
Why: Haynes is pretty much in the same boat as Christian Miller. Since he was picked by Carolina in the fourth round of the 2018 draft, he’s only been on the field for a total of 256 defensive snaps. Unless there’s a rash of injuries on the edge, it’s unlikely he’ll get many meaningful reps for the Panthers. He’s also a better fit in a 3-4 defensive scheme, even though he’s bulked up to 240 pounds this offseason.
Best potential trade partner: The Texans run a base 3-4 defense and they have been hurting at this position since trading Jadeveon Clowney to the Seahawks last September. They also managed just 31 sacks last season, ranking No. 26 in the league. Giving up a sixth or seventh for Haynes could boost their rotation.
