  "account": "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales was asked about a trade rumor involving tight end Ja Tavion Sanders during his press conference. The Green Bay Packers were reportedly among the teams interested in the third-year pass catcher. However, Canales did not confirm or deny the rumors, stating, \"I don't have any information on that.\" Sanders was drafted in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft and has struggled to find his footing in Carolina, recording only 532 receiving yards and two touchdowns over his first two seasons. As the team signed Pro Bowl pass catcher Darren Waller, trade speculation surrounding Sanders has grown stronger. Sanders currently holds the No. 3 spot on the unofficial depth chart behind starter Tommy Tremble and fifth-round pick Mitchell Evans.",
