Report: Panthers not having a fire sale, won't trade Jaycee Horn or Chuba Hubbard
Tuesday's trade of wide receiver Diontae Johnson could just end up being a one-off for the 1-7 Carolina Panthers.
As we await the official word, multiple reports from this afternoon have indicated that the team will be trading Johnson to the Baltimore Ravens in a not-so-surprising departure. In fact, the only surprising part of the deal might be the pittance of a return the Panthers will receive for their leading pass catcher.
Anyway, this not may be the opening transaction of a potential fire sale.
Here's what FOX Sports NFL insider had to add amidst the aftermath of the move . . .
Hubbard leads the team with 593 rushing yards, a total that also ranks fifth in the NFL. The 25-year-old is currently in the final year of his rookie deal.
Horn, the eighth overall pick of the 2021 NFL draft, continues to prove he's one of the league's top cornerbacks when healthy. He is under contract for the 2025 campaign after the Panthers triggered his fifth-year option back in April.
