The Carolina Panthers are in a weird spot heading into the 2025 trade deadline. On the one hand, they have a strong chance of achieving a winning record for the first time under David Tepper's ownership. On the other hand, they appear some way off contending in the supremely competitive NFC.
Dan Morgan could decide to make a bold move, depending on what options become available. The general manager could as easily stand pat, taking his eight selections in the 2026 NFL Draft into the offseason and continuing with his long-term project. That seems the likelier direction, but anything can happen if the right opportunity presents itself.
