Report: Teams believe Panthers are open to trading pair of notable veterans

According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, teams believe the Panthers are open to trading at least two notable veterans.

According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Carolina Panthers aren’t currently considering a trade of quarterback Bryce Young. But the same report does note that the organization could be willing to move at least another pair of players within the next few days.

In her column from Saturday morning, Russini writes that NFL teams believe the Panthers are “open” to trading running back Miles Sanders and outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney.

With Carolina at 1-7 and the league’s trade deadline just three days away, Sanders and Clowney might appeal to contenders looking for an additional rusher—whether that be out of the backfield or off the edge.

Sanders, who has accounted for just 18.5 percent of the offense’s rushing attempts in 2024, is in the second season of the four-year, $25.4 million deal he signed with the Panthers last offseason. The 27-year-old is likely to see even fewer opportunities if second-round pick Jonathon Brooks is activated to the main roster by next week.

Clowney, meanwhile, is in the first campaign of his two-year, $20 million pact. He’s recorded 1.0 sack and a team-high 16 pressures over six games.
