When it comes to NFL players who are so valuable to their current teams that they would never be traded for any amount of compensation, few at any given moment are truly untouchable.<\/p>\n
Fresh from trading away running back Christian McCaffrey, the Panthers are trying to persuade other teams that four Carolina players are. Even if they aren’t.<\/p>\n
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Panthers have informed curious teams that pass rusher Brian Burns, receiver DJ Moore, defensive lineman Derrick Brown, and cornerback Jaycee Horn will not be traded.<\/p>\n
Schefter adds that an unnamed team offered the Panthers two first-round picks for Burns, and that the Panthers rejected it. Without knowing the team, of course, it’s impossible to fully evaluate the offer, since there’s no way of knowing whether the first-round selections would be expected to land higher or lower in the first rounds of the next two drafts.<\/p>\n
It’s also impossible to know whether the picks were 2022 and 2023 first-round selections. The offer may have been 2022 and 2024, or 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n
More broadly speaking, it’s also impossible to know whether an offer was ever even made. The Panthers could be putting this out there to a Sunday Splash!<\/em> sleuth (whose willing cooperation will lead to more scoops) in order to set the floor for any offers that may come in the next nine days.<\/p>\n Although his article doesn’t contain the magic words, Schefter’s tweet does. \u201cCarolina now has no intention<\/em><\/strong> of trading\u201d the four players.<\/p>\n
