Panthers linked as potential fits for two intriguing trade candidates at a position of need, and have a clear trade chip to use

The Carolina Panthers have emerged as a potential destination for cornerback help ahead of the November 10 NFL trade deadline, with ESPN floating Riq Woolen and Donte Jackson as potential targets. Due to injuries to starters Mike Jackson and Jaycee Horn, Carolina has experienced significant vulnerability at outside cornerback while relying on rookie Will Lee III and the recently injured Akayleb Evans.

Writer Kole Noble explores trade proposals including sending tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders and a third-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for Woolen, or pursuing a reunion with Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Jackson. However, Noble believes general manager Dan Morgan will ultimately avoid a trade and instead wait for Horn and Jackson to recover.
