Report: Teams being told Brian Burns is not available via trade

According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, teams are being told that Panthers OLB Brian Burns is not available via trade.

Charlotte’s Spider-Man may not be going far from home. In fact, he may not be going anywhere at all.

According to ESPN NFL insider Dan Graziano, the Carolina Panthers are telling teams that outside linebacker Brian Burns is not up for grabs. So, with the trade deadline now less than a week away, it feels as though the two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher is highly unlikely to be moved.

Burns is currently playing on his fifth-year option without a contract extension in hand. Carolina’s inability to ink their 25-year-old star to a long-term pact, while starting out at an NFL-worst 0-6 record, may have hungry contenders sniffing blood in the water.

Nonetheless, Burns is seemingly sitting tight, at least for now.

As for who could be on the move from Carolina, Graziano’s colleague and fellow ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler mentions several names in the very same article. Fowler notes that wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr., who was granted permission to seek a trade last week, is available while defensive backs Donte Jackson and Jeremy Chinn may garner enough interest to inspire a deal.

The Panthers have until 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday to strike any swaps.

Terrace Marshall Jr. declines comment on trade request

Panthers WR Terrace Marshall Jr. admitted that his decreased role “kind of” played into his trade request.

Carolina Panthers wideout Terrace Marshall Jr. is keeping his business sorted.

Last Thursday, the third-year receiver was reportedly granted permission by the team to seek a trade. When asked about his request by reporters on Monday, Marshall Jr. chose not to speak on it.

“I’m just focused on the Houston Texans,” he said, per Joe Person of The Athletic. “I don’t want to be a distraction to the team.”

Marshall Jr. did, however, acknowledge that his decreased role “kind of” played a factor in the trade request.

The 2021 second-round pick has struggled to see the field, let alone do anything on it. He’s played in approximately 57 percent of the offense’s snaps, amassing 16 receptions for 114 yards.

His most noted outing this season came in a game where he, well, never came into. Despite being active for the Week 5 matchup against the Detroit Lions, Marshall Jr. did not record a single snap—an oversight head coach Frank Reich would later take the blame for.

The NFL’s trade deadline is set for 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Oct. 31.

Panthers reportedly received trade inquiry on Donte Jackson

The Panthers have reportedly received a trade inquiry on CB Donte Jackson.

If the Carolina Panthers are ready to make some deals ahead of this year’s trade deadline, they may be closer to holding a garage sale as opposed to going door to door.

According to ESPN senior NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, the 0-6 Panthers could just let the moves come to them—as they are reportedly not in “full trade mode,” but are open to inquiries. In fact, they might’ve had one already.

Fowler writes:

The Panthers also have received an inquiry on cornerback Donte Jackson, who’s on a reasonable contract ($1.08 million base salary this year, with a $4 million base in 2024 along with $5.7 million in roster and per-game bonuses). But quality corners are hard to give up, so he’s considered less available than the other two [Wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. and safety Jeremy Chinn].

Jackson is currently on the second season of the three-year, $35.1 million extension he inked last spring. While he hasn’t exactly performed up to the pact, the former second-rounder is a relatively valuable piece to a depleted defense—especially one that was already paper-thin in its secondary.

So, it seems that the Panthers may have to be moved in order to move the sixth-year veteran and team leader.

6 potential trade fits for Panthers WR Terrace Marshall Jr.

Panthers WR Terrace Marshall Jr. is reportedly seeking a trade. Here are six potential fits for the former second-round pick:

The sales could soon be firing off for the Carolina Panthers, and they could start with wideout Terrace Marshall Jr.

As first reported by ESPN senior NFL insider Jeremy Fowler on Thursday, Marshall Jr. and his agent have been granted permission by the Panthers to seek a trade. The 23-year-old receiver, who has seemingly been lost in the shuffle in Charlotte, may be looking for a bigger role elsewhere.

So, let’s try to find one for him.

Here are six potential landing spots for the former second-round pick:

Report: Panthers give Terrace Marshall Jr. permission to seek trade

According to ESPN’s Jermey Fowler, the Panthers have granted WR Terrace Marshall Jr. permission to seek a trade.

Wideout Terrace Marshall Jr. has had a difficult time trying to find a role for the Carolina Panthers. So now, he may be looking to find one elsewhere.

According to ESPN senior NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler, the Panthers have given Marshall Jr. and agent Vince Taylor permission to seek a trade. Fowler also notes that the 23-year-old receiver would be “welcome back” if no deal is reached.

Despite having been a highly-touted and highly-potent second-round pick two years ago, Marshall Jr. has struggled to find a place in Carolina. He’s played in 32 of a possible 39 games for the Panthers over his three-year career—having amassed 61 receptions, 742 receiving yards and one touchdown.

Marshall Jr. has been particularly lost over the past two weeks. After not playing a single snap in the Week 5 loss to the Detroit Lions, he registered zero receptions on three targets in this past Sunday’s defeat to the Miami Dolphins.

Panthers listed as sellers for 2023 trade deadline

Around the NFL writer Kevin Patra sees the Panthers as sellers ahead of this year’s trade deadline.

Despite some preseason excitement, nobody is buying in on the Carolina Panthers anymore. So now, at 0-6, it may be time for them to sell.

With the trade deadline around the corner, Around the NFL writer Kevin Patra recently sorted out this year’s buyers and sellers. He, obviously, puts the Panthers into the latter group—writing that it’s time to recoup on some lost draft capital.

He lists linebackers Brian Burns and Frankie Luvu, safety Jeremy Chinn and wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. as potential bargaining chips for Carolina:

Change is already on its way in Carolina, with coach Frank Reich handing over play-calling duties to OC Thomas Brown. More could be coming for the winless Panthers heading toward the trade deadline. Without a first-round pick and currently holding just six total selections in 2024, Carolina should look to replenish now. Brian Burns, who is scheduled to become a free agent this offseason, would be the biggest trade chip. While moving the pass rusher would be a significant dent to the Panthers’ D, it could be their best way to recoup a high pick. Frankie Luvu and Jeremy Chinn also have expiring deals, although Chinn’s reported injury likely kills his trade value. Terrace Marshall Jr., a 2021 second-round pick, has not been productive despite the Panthers’ limited receiver corps, catching just 16 passes entering Week 7.

As Patra notes, it’ll be tough to get anything out of Chinn—who is reportedly expected to miss up to six weeks with a hamstring injury. The same could apply to Marshall Jr., who has reeled in as many catches as your grandmother has over the past two weeks.

The real value, rather, would come out of possible deals for Burns and Luvu—two of the team’s most dynamic defenders. Burns currently leads the team with 4.0 sacks and is making a case for a third straight Pro Bowl nod while Luvu has been the heart of an injury-plagued unit.

But are the Panthers ready to part ways with those two important players (and leaders) this quickly into the Frank Reich era?

Top takeaways from Panthers’ snap counts in Week 6 loss to Dolphins

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard took advantage of his featured role in Week 6.

A slew of injuries have caused the Carolina Panthers to make do in recent weeks. And unfortunately, they just had to make do against one of the toughest matchups you can find in the NFL right now.

So, let’s try to dive into some of their most notable and telling snap counts from Sunday’s 42-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers’ Week 6 loss to Dolphins

Through six games, Adam Thielen now has three No. 1 finishes for the Panthers in PFF’s offensive grading.

Another week, another big-time showing for Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen. (Oh . . . and another week, another loss.)

Here are the best and worst Pro Football Focus grades for the Panthers in their Week 6 defeat to the Miami Dolphins:

Marquise Brown named trade target for Panthers in hypothetical deal

ESPN’s Bill Barnwell proposed an interesting trade that would land the Panthers a certified deep threat in Marquise Brown.

With a pretty distinct chance of entering their Week 7 bye at 0-6, the Carolina Panthers could very well be sellers sooner rather than later. But what if they wanted to buy ahead of the Halloween trade deadline?

ESPN staff writer Bill Barnwell recently concocted 15 hypothetical trade proposals for 15 notable players. Among those swaps is one for Arizona Cardinals wideout Marquise Brown, where the Panthers are on the receiving end.

Barnwell would have Carolina bringing in the former first-round pick and a 2024 third-round pick in exchange for receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. and a 2024 second-rounder. He writes:

The Panthers would need to hand Brown an extension to have this deal make sense, with the 26-year-old likely to command a contract north of $20 million per season on the open market. There’s risk in a struggling team trading for a player from a middling offense (see: Claypool, Chase), and Carolina might prefer to wait until free agency and take its chances in adding speed then. Still, Brown would form the future of the Carolina receiving corps alongside rookie second-rounder Jonathan Mingo.

Given the Panthers’ slim-to-none chances of actually making a run at the playoffs (and Slim may have just left the building), they are probably better off taking their chances at the open market. Plus, parting with yet another high-end piece of draft capital after their deal for this year’s top overall selection may not really help said top overall selection.

Nonetheless, Carolina is certainly on the lookout to help Young. Whether they get that help within the next few weeks or the next few months is the real question.

Report: Handful of Panthers players available on trading block

SI’s Albert Breer is hearing that a handful of Panthers are currently on the trading block.

With the NFL’s trade deadline just a few weeks away, the Carolina Panthers could be looking to position themselves for the long run. And according to one league insider, that long run may not include a few key names.

Sports Illustrated senior NFL reporter Albert Breer published his latest set of news and notes on Friday, which included an interesting nugget on the Panthers. Breer notes that Carolina, at 0-5, may be willing to part with some valuable assets in exchange for future draft capital.

The first name that pops up, of course, is outside linebacker Brian Burns. Breer writes:

Conversation there starts with Brian Burns. He’s up after this year and owed more than eight figures for the remainder of the season (prorated portion of his $16.01 million). But he’s also just 25 and plays a premium position. Last year the Panthers turned down an absolute haul (a 2023 third-rounder and first-rounders in ’24 and ’25) to get him. And the Panthers and Burns haven’t gotten close to striking a long-term deal.

A team trading for him could, of course, do a new deal with him, or franchise him in 2024.

With no long-term extension seemingly in sight, Burns is playing through the 2023 campaign on his fifth-year option. The two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher currently leads the team with 4.0 sacks and five tackles for a loss.

Breer then goes on to mention a trio of players who he believes may be on the trading block:

After that, there are three guys I’ve heard are available—safety Jeremy Chinn, receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. and corner Donte Jackson. Chinn is an interesting hybrid linebacker who’d fit some teams better than others, has lost playing time in the switch to Ejiro Evero’s scheme and is in a contract year. Marshall’s a second-rounder who has talent but has yet to really find his footing as a pro. And Jackson’s a really good corner who’s signed through 2024 at a reasonable price (about $4.2 million for the rest of this year and $10.6 million next year).

As the dangerous Miami Dolphins sit on deck for this Sunday, the Panthers are potentially staring down the barrel of an 0-6 start heading into their Week 7 bye. So, with the deadline exactly 18 days away, it may soon be time to make some moves.
