Teams Calling Panthers On Derrick Brown; Robert Hunt On Trade Radar

NFL teams have reportedly reached out to the Carolina Panthers regarding defensive tackle Derrick Brown, while guard Robert Hunt has also emerged on the trade radar. Although Carolina leads the NFC South with a 3-4 record, Albert Breer reports the franchise has entertained trade possibilities ahead of the deadline. However, Joe Person reports that teams inquiring about Brown have been told he is currently unavailable.

Hunt represents a more feasible trade candidate due to potential cap savings, with Carolina potentially clearing approximately $19 million in 2027 cap space by moving his contract. Meanwhile, teams including the New York Giants and Jacksonville Jaguars are reportedly seeking defensive tackle help, though Brown remains under a four-year, $96 million extension running through 2028.
