The Carolina Panthers were in a tricky spot heading into the 2025 trade deadline. They were coming off a monumental upset win over the Green Bay Packers, and fans wanted to see general manager Dan Morgan get aggressive in pursuit of providing the firepower needed to kick on over the second half of 2025.
That didn't materialize. Morgan didn't make any moves, opting to hold firm with the options available and hope it's enough to keep building steady momentum. Some fans didn't like it, but this was always the most likely scenario.
