The Carolina Panthers are in desperate need of a constant—or at least a somewhat stable—presence under center. But are they this desperate?
On Tuesday, Pro Football Focus published their “15 trades to watch out for in the 2022 NFL offseason,” with a potential swap between the Panthers and Minnesota Vikings among them. In the proposed trade, Carolina takes quarterback Kirk Cousins off Minnesota’s hands while sending them their 2022 first-round pick and their 2023 second-round pick.
Salary cap analyst Brad Spielberger suggests that the hiring of new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo—along with his, uh, generous offer to the Vikings for Cousins—could help finally repair the team’s quarterback conundrum.
