Big CB could pique Panthers' interest as potential trade target
The Panthers have been tabbed as a potential trade suitor for an intriguing CB.
The Carolina Panthers might be interested in bolstering their secondary by acquiring a defensive back from another team before the trade deadline on November 10. Jordan Dajani, of CBS Sports, recently identified ten potential trade targets for the Panthers, among them Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Kelee Ringo. Ringo, a former fourth-round pick out of Georgia, is in his final year of his rookie deal and stands at 6-foot-2, 207 pounds.
While he has played only on special teams for the Eagles this season, his physical attributes may appeal to the Panthers' front office. The Panthers are in need of additional cornerbacks following the injuries to starters Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson, who are currently on injured reserve. After their Week 3 loss to the Cleveland Browns, the Panthers have relied on rookie Will Lee III and special teams contributor Akayleb Evans.
However, Evans has struggled, allowing 11 receptions for 197 yards and a touchdown in his first game without Horn and Jackson. Ringo's limited playing time, consisting of only 89 snaps this year on special teams, means he would need to adapt to playing in regular defensive situations if he were to join the Panthers.
