Panthers linked to 2 intriguing CBs ahead of NFL trade deadline
The Panthers have been named a top trade suitor for a pair of CBs.
Carolina Panthers require additional defense at cornerback, and they might seek trade options ahead of the deadline. ESPN has reportedly mentioned two names the Panthers could pursue - Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Riq Woolen and former Panthers cornerback Donte Jackson, now with the Los Angeles Chargers. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler suggests that Woolen, a 35-percent trade target, is a high-upside cornerback who could be acquired for a fourth-round pick.
Fowler notes that Woolen's athleticism, age, and ceiling make him a better option than Jackson, who still has a reasonable contract and a draft pick could be acquired for him. While Jackson may not be worth more than a sixth-round pick, Woolen's potential makes him a more appealing choice for the Panthers to secure immediate help at cornerback.
